Am I the only one who thinks Padparascha is also partially based on a Kandyan dancer's uniform? For context: Kandyan dancing is a style of dancing native to Sri Lanka, coming from the city Kandy. It is already proven that Padparascha's name is based on the name of the gem "padmaraga" which originates in Sri Lanka. It's not much of a stretch to say that the gem is loosely based on a Kandyan dancer.
