Miss Diva 2020 finalist Malashya kashyap as she wins the title for Best National Costume. She was sashed by Indian model and film actress @waluschaa
My national costume draws its inspiration from the great works of Srimanta Shankardev, with special focus on the classical dance form Sattriya started by the great saint from Assam. The garment constitutes of the well known variety of silk indigenous to Assam – _paat_ and _muga_ silk. The garment also showcases traditional jewellery and brings out the beautiful craftsmanship of the bamboo artisans of the state in the form of the _jaapi_. Also, a traditional comb called _kakoi_, which is used as a hair accessory by Bihu dancers has been added to the outfit to give a vibrant and comprehensive glimpse of Assamese culture. The attire is finally brought together with the traditional Assamese _gamocha_, a symbol of respect and honour. All materials used to create the outfit are environment friendly and preserves the artistic flair of the native Assamese people. I’d like to thank wholeheartedly my incredibly talented fashion designer @chaochangrajknowar for designing this amazing creation within a short span of time. Photo Credit: @bijitgraphy
