<p>The Finance Minister has promoted handloom sarees in the past. Here's a look at her sartorial choices in the past budget sessions.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In 2022, Sitharaman wore a rust and maroon handloom Bomkai saree which is typically weaved in Orissa. &nbsp;The rusty brown tone of her saree was a combination of two colours, brown and red, that many feel represents resilience, dependability, security, safety, warmth, love and power.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
In 2021, Sitharaman wore a classic red and off-white silk Pochampally sari with ikat patterns around the pallu and a green border. Pochampally ikat is traditionally made in the south Indian state of Telangana also known as the 'silk city of India'. <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/budget-2023-live-updates-nirmala-sitharaman-to-present-union-budget-2023-24-in-parliament-today-557696">Follow LIVE update of the Union Budget 2023 here</a></strong><br />
