A prominent member of the Modi Cabinet, Nirmala Sitharaman has also been an inspiration for ethnic wear owing to her elegant saree looks.

The former defence minister's handloom saree collection is quite awe-inspiring.

The subtle and classy sarees make for perfect attires for both everyday and formal looks.

The sarees she wears during the Budget announcements also make headlines.

For instance, the red and off-white silk Pochampally sari Nirmala Sitharaman wore last year. The saree with ikat patterns around the pallu, drew a lot of attention.

Notably, the Finance Minister delivered a powerful message on International Women’s Day last year involving the traditional attire.

She said that men must stop patronising women and terms of engagement between genders should not vary just because someone wears a saree and another suit and pants.

Terms of engagement should not change if I am wearing a saree and someone else is wearing pants and suits, she had said.

Now all eyes are on the day of February 1, to see what the Union Budget holds for various sectors of the economy..
