In a grand culmination of their three-day-long pre-wedding festivities, Radhika Merchant, the soon-to-be wife of Anant Ambani, turned heads with her mesmerizing bridal ensemble at the ‘Hastakshar’ ceremony held in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The event, attended by luminaries from entertainment, sports, business, and politics, marked the official union of the couple and their dedication to each other.
At the center of attention was Radhika Merchant, whose choice of attire for the Hastakshar ceremony set new benchmarks in bridal fashion. Dressed in a bespoke lehenga saree designed by Tarun Tahiliani, Radhika exuded elegance and grace. The attire, reminiscent of a temple complex, seamlessly aligned with the theme of the function, titled ‘Valley of the Gods’.
Radhika’s pre-draped lehenga saree captivated onlookers with its intricate embroidery, featuring domes and structures in soft hues of peaches, corals, and sunset colors. Hand-painted miniature artistry and a delicate dance of jaali and resham work adorned the ensemble, reflecting the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Tarun Tahiliani’s creation, as described on the designer’s Instagram page, showcased opulent shades of silver and rose gold, woven with the finesse of kashidakari craftsmanship.
To complement her regal attire, Radhika adorned herself with a panelled, scalloped rose gold tissue veil, gracefully enveloping her silhouette. The ensemble was further accentuated by a diamond choker necklace, jhumkis, mang tika, haath phool, and statement rings, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary style.
Radhika’s makeup was kept minimal, allowing her natural beauty to shine through. With a center-parted, half-up half-down hairstyle, she epitomized elegance and sophistication, completing her Hastakshar ceremony look with finesse.
As Radhika Merchant embraces her journey towards matrimony with Anant Ambani, her impeccable sense of style and fashion choices continue to inspire brides-to-be worldwide. With her ethereal presence and timeless elegance, Radhika sets the bar high for bridal fashion, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed her radiant charm at the ‘Hastakshar’ ceremony.
