Nita Ambani began the grand Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at her Mumbai residence last night, welcoming the beloved idol and hosting friends and family.

As Bollywood celebrities, politicians, and industrialists lined up for darshan of Antilia Cha Raja, the Chairperson of Reliance Industries posed for the cameras in a rich orange-and-pink ombre silk sari, carrying a matching orange potli bag with golden brocade embroidery. However, her oversized gold neckpiece stunned the internet.

Created by Amrapali Jewels, Amrapali Bharatam is a one-of-a-kind necklace crafted from real antique and vintage Indian jewellery sourced from across the country. According to Amrapali Jewels, 14 karigars worked on the piece. A traditional Kerala necklace anchors the centre, while jhoomars, South Indian naths, a passa, monumental earrings, billas, and chandbalis, are all reimagined within its architecture.”

The necklace brings together ornaments created for different parts of the body—from earrings and nose jewellery to necklaces and hair accessories. Each element has been carefully selected and placed by hand, with its original character and detailing preserved. Rather than following a conventional symmetrical design, the necklace uses an intentionally eclectic arrangement, allowing the individual pieces to stand out while forming one cohesive work of art.

Nita Ambani is known for her exquisite taste in jewellery, boasting a personal showcase that can give serious jewel collectors a run for their money.

Matching round earrings and a chunky diamond ring, paired with a long braid and minimal glam, complete her look.

Choti bahu Radhika’s dance tribute

Looking radiant in a handwoven Kanjeevaram sari in rich tones of jewel pink, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Ambani household performed a classical dance tribute to Lord Ganesha. The Manish Malhotra ensemble, as shared by the designer on his Instagram, was “woven with gold zari and further embellished with antique gold marodi embroidery and zardozi highlights”, and sought inspiration from the “poetry of Indian classical dance”.

Styled by Esther Pinto, Radhika Ambani looked divine in diamond jewels — adorned in a layered neckpiece with matching earrings, a nath, maatha patti and maang tika, a kamarband and stacked bangles. Tiny hints of aalta on her fingertips and toes pulled the traditional look together.
