New Delhi . A beautiful example of maintaining connection with Indian traditions even while living abroad is going viral on social media these days. In fact, Divya Latlikar of Indian origin, living in Canada, not only caught everyone’s attention by wearing a traditional Marathi Nauvari saree in her Canadian citizenship swearing-in ceremony, but also gave the message that citizenship can change, but the connection with the roots is not broken.
Divya Latlikar has shared the video of this special occasion on Instagram, which is becoming increasingly viral. It can be seen in the video that Divya is seen confidently in her traditional attire in a formal and western environment like the citizenship ceremony. Amidst Canada’s national flags and formal dress code, her Nauvari saree, traditional jewelery and bun hairstyle stand out. The initial moment of the video involves a dilemma, where Divya is seen wondering what to wear for the swearing-in ceremony. After a few moments the video transitions and she is seen in full traditional Marathi Nauvari saree. This makeover is not only visually appealing, but also conveys an emotionally deep message. Divya’s confident stance and smile show that she felt complete clarity and pride in her identity.
While sharing the video on Instagram, Divya wrote in the caption, I am proud of where I am… but not forgetting my roots. Keeping my tradition alive. His message is getting immense support from people on social media. Thousands of users have liked the video and appreciated it in the comments.
