Designs on Ramayan
Ramayan on NDTV Imagine is being talked about for its grandeur and costumes. Nisha Sagar who's designed the clothes and jewellery of the epic drama says she's avoided taking reference from previously made serials. "It could have influenced my thinking and there was a fear of repetition," she informs. Instead she has referred to various paintings of Ram and Sita and visited many temples. She's sourced her materials from Benaras for the specially woven fabrics, raw and pure silk. The jewellery is from Jaipur. "I have categorically taken burnished gold for all my characters because that was the colours for the era. We have liberally used stones, kundan, colored mina and pearls. For Mithila, I have mixed gold and silver and used a lot of diamond with coloured stones because Mithila was the city of silver." Great care has been taken even in the embroidery work. "It is more of zardozi work with pure diamante and Swarowsky and semi-precious crystals drops. The motifs are inspired from the walls of various temples in Gujarat and South. They are auspicious with religious value and depict cultural values rooted deep in the psyche of Indians," says Nisha. The crowns donned by the serial's Gods heads are from Chennai. "It has a different carving and carries the emblem of Sun God, has a unique sheen to it and has precious stones studded in it. They are polished in gold," elaborates the designer who recently won the Best Designer award for Dhartee Ka Veer Yoddha - Prithviraj Chouhan.
