She is wearing Uppada silk (from the region Uppada, Andhra Pradesh) in the golden blush colour of the Kanakaambaram, a traditional temple flower commonly worn in the hair by Telugu women as well as the eternal Padmam (lotus) The silhouette, referenced from paintings of iconic Telugu artist ‘Bapu’ – is a derivation of the classic half-saree style worn by young women of South India.”
