President Droupadi Murmu bought an indigo‑dyed Eri silk shawl with intricate motifs at the SARAS Mela in Vijayawada, paying ₹4,500 through UPI. The purchase highlights the traditional Assamese Eri silk, known for its natural dyeing processes and cultural heritage. Eri silk, called 'peace silk', avoids killing silkworms.
