The geometric patterns and borders on the sari reflect the fine details of tribal art and craftsmanship. The most eye-catching element is the traditional waist belt (kardhani) tied around her waist, which is decorated with golden coins and beads. Embedded colorful stones add a festive appearance to the attire. The simple red bangles on her hands further enhance the elegance and cultural beauty of the dance costume.
