Aakaar - Celebrate the gifts of nature

Aakaar is an ode to the ancient wisdom of Chhattisgarh's native tribes, capturing the essence of nature through rekha(line) and bindu (dots) of Godna and Gond art. Handwoven Kosa silk, dyed in natural dyes—ochres, browns, and greens from turmeric, indigo, madder and Himalayan Rhubarb—echoes the land’s deep connection to nature. With simple, relaxed silhouettes and delicate details, this collection honours the timeless craft of the Dewangan community, inviting us to embrace a slower, more mindful way of living
