"Panchtantra was a collection of Chanderi sarees I conceptualised & designed in 2018, & executed somewhere in 2019. I wanted to introduce the iconography of the tales of Panchtantra I had grown up reading & whose learning I always imbibed in me. Sutradhaar was a saree added to the Panchtantra collection, and depicts a Golden Tree of Wisdom with small birds that often in Panchtantra tales, act as story narrators of Sutradhaar.

KHYAAL (mood-board):
Dhanlakshmi - The Goddess of Wealth is most awaited by everyone. But what is Dhan? Is it just monetary gain? Or we do not understand the true Wealth & meaning of DhanLakshmi. Health, Happiness, Contentment, Compassion, Calmness, Consciousness are the real attributes of Wealth that help in building a society of Dhan Lakshmi. True, every society needs money, but Dhan Lakshmi brings with her the attributes that let us understand the Art of Living, not just the Science of Earning.
