Nirmala Sitharaman Saree Colour: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2026-27 (Budget 2026) today at 11 am. This is her record ninth consecutive budget. Nirmala Sitharaman’s saree is always in the news on budget day. In fact, the saree worn by Nirmala Sitharaman on the occasion of the budget reflects the influence of Indian culture.
This time, for Budget 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman wore a hand-woven purple Kanjeevaram silk saree. It showcases Tamil Nadu’s centuries-old weaving heritage. This purple Kattam Kanjeevaram saree features light golden brown checks, or kattam, with threadwork on the coffee brown border. The Finance Minister herself is Tamil, so she chose a saree from her home state.
It’s worth noting that assembly elections are scheduled for Bengal and Tamil Nadu in the next few months. The BJP is looking with hope in both states this time. Therefore, considering the Tamil Nadu voters, the budget may include a special package for Tamil Nadu. This Modi government’s budget may reflect the influence of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Bengal, and Assam.
From the vegetables on your plate to your smartphone, the prices of most items are decided by the GST Council, not the Finance Minister. In the budget, the prices of some items fluctuate only due to the increase or decrease in import duty. This time, gold and silver may become cheaper in the budget. The government may reduce the basic customs duty on gold and silver from 6% to 4%. If this happens, gold could become cheaper by approximately ₹3,000 per 10 grams, and silver by ₹6,000.
