At Antilia’s Ganesh Visarjan celebrations, Radhika Merchant kept it light and vibrant in a rani pink Leheriya ensemble.

The Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at Antilia this year captured the perfect intersection of grandeur, devotion, and cultural nostalgia. On August 27, Anant Ambani and his wife, Radhika Merchant, welcomed Ganpati Bappa home, kicking off the rituals that have become a hallmark of the Ambani calendar. The following evening, August 28, the family bid farewell to Lord Ganesha with an elaborate Visarjan procession.
All eyes, however, were on Radhika Merchant, who has swiftly become a cultural style figure in her own right. For Ganpati Visarjan, she stepped away from glitter-heavy couture and instead embraced tradition with a rani pink Leheriya anarkali set. The kurta featured a split round neckline, embroidered panelling, tassel accents, and intricate gota patti work along the cuffs and hem.
Take a look at Radhika Merchant’s Ganpati Visarjan look here.
The breezy silhouette reflected the joyous spirit of the festival while staying rooted in heritage craft. Paired with flared Leheriya palazzos, simple sandals, and a stack of gold bangles, the outfit was elevated by quiet luxury: diamond ear studs and a delicate chain. Her centre-parted braid, punctuated by gulal on her cheek later in the evening, perfectly grounded the look in the immediacy of celebration.
But beyond her festive glow, Radhika also sparked a subtle conversation in fashion circles. Earlier in the celebrations, she had been spotted repeating a red Sabyasachi kurta-sharara set from the couple’s pre-wedding Anna-Seva ceremony. Her choice to rewear was not just practical; it was symbolic.
The Ambanis’ Ganpati is always a blend of faith and festivity, drawing actors and dignitaries into its orbit. Yet this year, Radhika Merchant’s wardrobe told a story of its own – one that straddled devotion, heritage craft, and an evolving consciousness around how fashion is worn, remembered, and re-lived.
