Chennai, India Silks, a textile unit has come up with one of its kind and it is seeking an unmistakable entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most unique and expensive saree. The exceptionally stunning saree is meticulously woven with 12 precious stones and metals to depict 11 of Raja Ravi Verma's popular paintings.

Moreover, a group of consummate workers took nearly 4,680 hours.
Its a beautiful saree but i think it would be a better idea to buy 40 lacs real diamonds...and if this saree is sold i would like to know the name of the buyer.
It's hard to believe in the fact that clothing can be much more expensive than a car... By the way, this saree is really marvelous!
Unbelievable, how can a saree can cost this much amount. May be there are lots of Rich People residing in India who will buy this.
Lol... There are many buyers... I know a couple who purchased this and I personally have seen someone.
Actually its quite inexpensive. 4860 of work hours!! thats way too much.. Did those people even got paid??
looks cool, i think this is only for rich person to show their status, they will put it in showcase to tell others. or may be only for that textile company to gain reputation and to book a world record in Guinness Book of World Records.
Yep might be lakshmi mittal wife or mukesh ambani wifes would wear these sarress. But surely i can say that they will not get sale greater than 100.
These kind of Saree's are mostly weaved to gain popularity and not in the intention of making a sale!!
Wow what a news is this? i cant belive this but still i have to belive.. i would love to get one for me like this but i am not that much reach who can wear such a wonderful but expensive saree.... but this is really amazing..... thnx for sharing
I am a great fan of sarees but seriosly i don't like this one.. I can neva buy such a saree for even 40k There are lots more stunning ones out there
I don't know about Bollywood starlets, but Hollywood ones can and do wear outfits costing at least this much.
