00:00A Kundalini has been derived from a Sanskrit word which means the coiled snake. And when

00:28we talk about this chakra awakening, it starts from the spine to the crown of the body. When

00:35we talk about women empowerment, it was a form of awakening which showed the strength

00:41of a true Indian woman, the essence of the true Indian woman.

00:48We had two on the boots, I had two on my shoulders, that makes four. There's one on the head with

00:55the teeth coming out, that says five. Number of snakes are seven, including my face. It

01:02symbolizes the seven chakras that are there in our body and how the awakening is done.

01:11That was a symbol which showed the rigidity that a woman has, how firm we are, because

01:18the rest form of the energy, as a snake, it is not firm, but then the cane symbolizes

01:25the firmness, the rigidity, the idea that we are strong in our head. It symbolizes strength.

01:37The headgear is the face of the snake. It had eyes and it had teeth coming and it was

01:44there on my head. So if you see it like this, it had the head and the moment I raised my

01:49head, you can see my face. So what it symbolizes is, I am there, the feminine energy within

01:57me is awakening from the mouth, from the crown area of the snake.

02:05Even if a woman passes from our area, we leave around our aura, the essence.

02:16Those were six inches of boots. It looks like a coiled snake around my feet.

02:25So those were the rhinestones, the crystal rhinestones. They were 50,000 in number. Along

02:30with it, there was a touch of pearl used to it, just to give it that extravagant and

02:38luxurious look. The fabric which was used was from Korea. It was around 20 kgs, including

02:46everything. It costed me around four lakhs, approx.

02:55Coming from India, which has a rich and vibrant culture, gold was the best option that we

03:04came up with, as gold color represents the novelty, power and the glory. I am a very

03:10adventurous person. I'm ready to explore things and with such a luxurious outfit, which

03:18was there in front of me, something so extravagant, I never had a second thought.
