The saree and the jewelry is sparse because they are trying to show off the bracelet.

Probably a diamond/platinum bracelet worth $50k or something.. I don’t know, I am just making up the composition of the bracelet.

At least the effort is admirable. They chose a dark saree, pleated specifically to accentuate the jewelry on the neck!
