Remember how the Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy in New Delhi had started a #Sareesearch on Twitter recently? MaryKay Carlson was on a sari hunt to mark the debut of her first appearance in the traditional Indian drape for an event marking India’s 70th Independence Day. She had launched a hashtag over the past one month on the micro-blogging site, inviting recommendations for the perfect sari. Turns out, Carlson found her perfect match in a rich Kanjeevaram red sari and promptly took to the Internet to share her picture.
Before she finally reached the decision to wear the red and green Kanjeevaram sari, she had narrowed down her choices to four — a Jamdani, a Dupion, a Kanjeevaram and a Tussar sari each and turned to the Netizens for help to sift out ‘The One’. And it seems, the ‘voter’s choice’ went for the Kanjeevaram sari and needless to say, Carlson looked absolutely beautiful in the attire.
“#SareeSearch success! Excited to attend #IndependenceDayIndia celebration wearing the voters’ choice – Kanjeevaram. #WeWearCulture,” she tweeted, as a caption to the picture of herself in the red and green sari.
This is the US envoy to India’s tweet.
Twitter, meanwhile, began buzzing with praises for Carlson and her choice soon after.
