Draped in a striking red silk saree adorned with intricate gold brocade embroidery and broad double borders, Nita Ambani exuded timeless elegance. She paired the saree with a matching red blouse featuring gold threadwork and complemented the look with bold gold jewelry—a massive pendant necklace, matching earrings, rings, and kadhas.

The ensemble was a tribute to India’s rich textile heritage and the craftsmanship of Indian artisans, but it was her statement jewelry that truly stole the spotlight.

In her message, Nita Ambani expressed her excitement for the first-ever international showcase of the NMACC, saying, “Bringing NMACC to New York is not just about a weekend of performances; it’s about spreading India’s cultural voice to a global audience and truly taking the very best of India to the world.”

She added, “We will spotlight the soul of India in all its glory. Our culture, our arts and crafts, our song and dance, our fashion and of course our food. This is our first international presentation and what better place than New York City. I warmly invite each and every one of you to join us for this unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to share India’s rich traditions and heritage with all of you in New York City”.

What to Expect at NMACC India Weekend

The three-day cultural extravaganza will begin with the US premiere of The Great Indian Musical: Civilisation to Nation at the David H Koch Theatre. This grand production will feature over 100 performers, opulent costumes, and larger-than-life sets, tracing India’s journey from ancient times to independence.

The opening night will also include an invite-only red carpet “Grand Swagat” and the “Swadesh Fashion Show” curated by Manish Malhotra, spotlighting traditional Indian weaves and artisans. Michelin-starred chef Vikas Khanna will present a special menu celebrating Indian flavors from ancient to modern.
