New Delhi, Feb. 1 -- Nirmala Sitharaman's Budget Day attire symbolises India's rich textile heritage

Nirmala Sitharaman made history this morning by presenting her eighth consecutive budget, the highest by any Finance Minister in India. She has also become known for wearing a different saree for each budget presentation, which represents India's rich textile heritage and traditional craftsmanship.

This year, she chose an off-white coloured handloom silk saree with fish-themed embroidery and a golden border - a tribute to Madhubani Art. She paired it with a red blouse and a shawl while carrying her trademark 'bahi-khata', a tablet wrapped in a red-coloured cloth with a golden-coloured national emblem embossed on it.
