Like other visitors, Alia was also dressed in traditional attire. However, the actor stood out from the crowd with her Ramayana-inspired saree, which caught the internet's attention.

Taking to Instagram on 23 January, stylist Ami Patel shared some zoomed-in pictures of Alia's saree that featured its pallu depicting hand-painted motifs of important scenes from the Ramayana.

Giving more details about the artwork, Patel wrote on the social media platform, "The breaking of the Shiva Dhanush, King Dasharathas promise, in the boat with Guha, the golden deer, the kidnapping, the Ram Setu, Lord Hanuman presenting the ring to Ma Sita and the Rama Pattabishek. These miniature paintings were done in a traditional “Pattachitra” style and took a 100 hours to complete on time for this momentous occasion of the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya."
