Renowned for her sartorial choices, Nita Ambani consistently stuns the world with her fashion. From adorning herself in the world's most costly saree to showcasing palm-sized emerald necklace valued at 500 crores during her son Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding festivities, she remains at the forefront of fashion extravagance.
Her latest appearance has once again captured widespread attention unexpectedly.
At the 71st Miss World Finals, which took place on March 9 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, Reliance Foundation and its chairperson, Mrs. Nita Ambani, were honored with the esteemed "Beauty With a Purpose Humanitarian Award."
However, it wasn¡¯t just the award that made headlines. Her evening attire made heads turn.?
According to an Instagram post, Mrs. Ambani adorned yet another jewel from the Mughal era on that evening. As per Bollywood Shaadis, the price of the bajuband, which was originally a Kalgi of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, exceeds Rs. 200 crores.
Mrs. Ambani adorned the magnificent Banarasi jangla saree from Swadesh, crafted from lustrous gold zari and Indian silk, where each thread exuded timeless elegance.
The bajuband that she wore was originally a sarpech(an ornament that is worn on the front of a turban). This particular piece was worn by the Mughal emperor Mirza Shahab-ud-Din Muhammad Khurram, also known as Shah Jahan.
According to a report in the Times of India, the bajuband (armband) is crafted from gold and embellished with rubies, diamonds, and spinels using the Pachhikakaam technique. It measures 13.7 cm in height and 19.8 cm in width. Pramod Kumar, the Managing Director of a Delhi-based museum consulting company, shared details from the IG page Topophilia, stating that the turban ornament, referred to as a sarpech, was last showcased at the Al Thani Collection exhibition in 2019.
The armband features inscriptions reading '12 / Shah Jahan ibn Jahangir Shah / 1049', suggesting a date in the 17th century, corresponding to the Islamic calendar year 1049 (equivalent to 1639-40 in the Gregorian calendar).
