With Diwali around the corner, people have already begun their festival shopping. It is the time of the year when people flock to markets to buy new clothes for the festive season. May-Elin Stener, the Norwegian Ambassador to India, took to X, formerly Twitter, to share how she had to buy her first saree for Diwali.
Stener said she had been in India for eight weeks and went to buy a saree for the festival. Sharing a collage of photos that shows the Norwegian ambassador donning three different sarees, Stener said it is a tough choice between all the fabrics, colours and weaves. Terming it “amazing craftsmanship”, she asked netizens about which saree she should buy.
The collage also contained a photo of her husband wearing a kurta set, which she said was an “easier pick”. “8-week old in and off to buy my first saree for #Diwali! A tough choice between all the fabrics, colours & weaves. What amazing craftsmanship! I tend to think I will go with red. What do you think? Btw the husband is also going Indian! His kurta pick was easier though,” Stener wrote on X.
Posted Saturday, the tweet has received more than 8,400 likes so far.
“They are all gorgeous on you Amb!” a user commented. “The red is gorgeous on you ma’am!” said another. “Madam Ambassador, you are looking great in all these colours and I must say you know how to pull it off in a saree,” wrote a third. “Love the red. But the heart also says purple. Buy both!” said a fourth. “It’s the red one. Without a whisker of doubt,” posted another netizen.
