Norwegian Ambassador to India May-Elin Stener recently went shopping to buy her first-ever saree for Diwali celebrations in the country. She took to X, formerly Twitter, and said it was a “tough choice” as there were a lot of colours, fabrics and weaves. Sharing a picture collage of herself in three different sarees, she said, “8-week old in India 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?” She added that her husband is also planning to wear a traditional outfit for the festival. “Btw the husband is also going Indian! His kurta pick was easier though,” she concluded.
Since being shared, her post has amassed 2.7 lakh views and over seven thousand likes.
“We have enough festivals in India to accommodate all Saaris and Kurtas,” said a user.
“Madam Ambassador, you are looking great in all these colours and I must say you know how to pull it off in a saree,” added another user.
