Nita’s jewellery choices further complemented her elegant yet traditional attire. The Reliance Foundation chairperson seemed to be wearing a Guttapusalu necklace with her outfit, a traditional South Indian design from Andhra Pradesh, according to Anshika Agarwal, Associate Professor, School of Fashion, World University of Design, Sonipat.

The name “Guttapusalu” comes from the Telugu words “Gutta” meaning shoal of small fish and “Pusalu” meaning beads, their intricate design featuring strings of tiny pearls meticulously arranged to resemble a school of fish swimming together, explained Professor Agarwal.

The exact origin date of the Guttapusalu necklace is difficult to pinpoint, but it is believed to have emerged several centuries ago during the period of the Vijayanagara Empire (14th to 17th century). The necklace has been a part of Andhra Pradesh’s rich cultural heritage for centuries, often associated with the region’s royal families and affluent classes, Agarwal added.

The Guttapusalu is still a part of the regional lexicon in Andhra Pradesh, worn at weddings and religious ceremonies.

The statement earrings that Nita wore featured tiny paintings of Lord Krishna, echoing the theme of faith and celebration.
