The female athletes will don an exquisite saree with ikat-inspired digitally printed panels in saffron and green, blue buttonholes symbolising the Ashoka Chakra, and an ivory base signifying peace and unity. The male athletes of Team India will wear kurta bundi sets at the opening ceremony. Modern trainers embellished with traditional Benares brocade finish the ensemble, artfully fusing traditional and modern design elements.
