When Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi entered Gujarat University Ground for inauguration of Vibrant Gujarat Navratri Mahotsav, most of the people were keep noticing his new dressing style curiously.

In Gujarat, majority of people visiting Garba ground usually dress up in traditional style.

In the first evening of nine-night-long festival, Chief Minister Narendra Modi was for the first time seen wearing Dhoti and Mojdi.

Modi’s silk dhoti had colorful border, his silk kurta was shinning in the flood lights.

But the most amazing was a very costly Patola scarf.

Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Kokilaben Ambani are some of the proud Patola owners.
