Saundarya Collection

Discover the rich heritage of India with our exclusive collection of Kalamkari kaftans. Each piece is a wearable work of art, inspired by the ancient traditions of Sri Kalahasti, a town renowned for its hand-drawn textile art and spiritual history.

Our kaftans capture the essence of this timeless craft. They are adorned with intricate, hand-drawn motifs that tell stories from Hindu mythology and epic tales. The deep, earthy colors are made from natural, vegetable dyes, ensuring an authentic and vibrant finish that is both beautiful and eco-friendly.

The art of Kalamkari is a testament to the skill of the artisans, who use a traditional bamboo pen to create these detailed designs. By choosing one of our Saundarya Collection Kaftan you are not only adding a unique and elegant piece to your wardrobe, but you're also supporting the preservation of a precious artistic tradition.

Saundarya Collection

Step into a world of tradition and elegance with the Saundarya Collection. Each piece is more than just a kaftan; it's a wearable masterpiece rooted in the ancient art of Kalamkari, a heritage deeply connected to the spiritual town of Sri Kalahasti.

The word "Kalamkari" itself, meaning "pen craft," tells the story of its creation. Unlike other styles that rely on block printing, the Sri Kalahasti style is entirely hand-drawn by skilled artisans using a special bamboo pen called a kalam.

The designs on our kaftans are inspired by the profound spiritual themes of Sri Kalahasti. The intricate motifs depict scenes from Hindu epics and feature deities, drawing from the same rich narratives that once adorned temple scrolls. The colors you see are derived exclusively from natural vegetable dyes, a process that can take up to 23 steps, resulting in rich, enduring colors.

Our Saundarya Collection honors the sacred traditions of the Sri Kalahasti temple, a place of profound devotion. Just as the ancient Chitrakattis, or storytellers, used these canvases to share tales, our kaftans allow you to carry a piece of this rich history with you.

By choosing a kaftan from the Saundarya Collection, you're not only embracing a unique sense of style but also supporting the preservation of a timeless art form and its deep-rooted traditions.

Sadhana Collection Collection

The Sadhana Collection is a line of garments crafted from pure raw silk, designed to be worn during your spiritual practice. These pieces are more than just clothing; they are a vessel to cultivate and preserve the energy you establish during your daily rituals. The collection's name, Sadhana, signifies the establishment of peace and being in the presence of the divine. By wearing one of these pieces, you can cultivate the very vibration and frequency of your practice.

Each garment in this collection is a private talisman, meant to be touched only by you. It serves as a personal cloak of protection, a way to build and carry the energy of your practice over time. We recommend hand-washing it under the light of a full moon to cleanse and imbue it with renewed energy. This is a piece for you to preserve and adorn yourself in the energy you cultivate each day.

The colors of the collection are deeply connected to different deities, each one chosen to honor a specific divine energy:

  • Sri Gold is in honor of Sri, the goddess of auspiciousness, and Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance.

  • Saraswati White is for the goddess of creativity and wisdom.

  • Devi Red represents Shakti, the universal energy and power.

If you have a dedicated practice, you can wear a single piece for a set number of days or for your daily rituals, allowing the garment to become infused with the continuity of your spiritual journey.
