Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will give “an exquisite Jamdani saree” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“It will be given to Mr. Modi for her mother,” said a senior Bangladeshi diplomat.
A Dhakai Jamdani is one of the most expensive gifts in Bangladesh, often given to an honoured guest.
“The colour of the hand stitched saree, selected by Ms. Hasina, would be off-white and it is made in Dhaka,” said the official.
Dhakai Jamdanis often cost in lakhs.
