Miss Diva organisation of India finally unveiled the national costume of Roshmitha Harimurthy on its Facebook page. The costume, designed by K Krishnamoorthy and Melvyn Dominic Noronha, perfectly showcases the rich cultural history of India. According to the organisation, her National Costume is inspired by “Surya Namaskar”. Surya Namaskar is the salutation to the sun and the universe, and through yoga an individual powers his/her internal energy point known as the chakra.

The costume also represents the culture from the South Indian states- Karnataka and Kerala. The costume is made of Indian Silk brocade and is decorated with accessories with wooden carvings and gold foil treatment.  The detailed work on the costume is inspired by one of the most ancient techniques used in the costumes of Kathakali (the state dance of Kerela) and Yakshagana (the theatrical art of Karnataka). The costume is designed in a way that depicts the elephant, the sandal wood leaves and the lotus, which are the state symbols of Karnataka.
