This is nothing but THEFT and appropriation of Indian Heritage.
While this might look very trivial at the outset, this is a very major cultural appropriation.

What is Golden ratio?
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
If two numbers be designated by a and b (a>b>0), then they are aid to be in Golden ratio if a/b=(a+b)/a
Thus, Golden Ratio is solution to quadratic x2-x-1=0(assuming a to be x and b to be 1 in the same ratio).
This approximates to 1.618033.
Since in a Fibonacci series every number(except first & second) is sum of the previous two, golden ratio approximates ratio of larger/smaller
How is Golden ratio important?
Golden nature is everywhere in the nature. Infact, Golden ratio is called Divine proportion.
According to latest research, universe is governed by Golden ratio.
Universe has a golden ratio that keeps everything in order.

Infact, the Golden ratio of Fibonacci series can be seen everywhere around us in the universe.
The petals of a flower and seed heads follow a Fibonacci series where each consecutive cycle is in golden ratio with the previous one
