Gujarati Loksahitya Meets Kanjivaram
"As a Gujarati, I've always been deeply moved by our rich loksahitya, each composition holding a world of meaning and history. Pairing these timeless words with the grace of Kanjivaram sarees brings a whole new dimension to something I've loved for a while. These sarees and loksahitya compositions have been a long time passion of mine. Merging these two loves feels like coming home. To make this journey even more special, I'll be sharing my Bharatanatyam take on - nine hand picked compositions - each day of Navratri. This is to celebrate not just the nine nights of dance, but my love for culture, kanjivaram, gujarati heritage and everything that makes me who I am."
