Modi gifts Northeast silk stoles to Giorgia Meloni in Italy

Muga silk, Shirui stoles bridge cultures

The Muga Silk stole stands out for its natural golden color and eco-friendly process, while the Shirui Lily stole is a nod to a flower that's super special in Manipur.
By choosing these, Modi not only showcased Indian artistry but also built a cultural bridge with Italy, where both silk and lilies have deep roots in local art and history.
