Love is Devotion

and a Selfless Emotion!

इस प्रेम की रासलीला को रैम्प पर आगे बढ़ाते हुए चलते हैं ‘ रति ‘ की ओर!!

On furtherance of Raasleela on Ramp by Tale of a Trend, lets continue embracing this love saga by welcoming our next theme “Rati’ meticulously curated by Mahima Korde.

Rati is the goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure!

Thus, the theme draws its creative inspiration from Shringara Rasa (beauty and love), one of the nine emotions in Nava Rasa, and different expressions of Rati bhava. The design elements illume the everlasting tales of love and passion revolving around Lord of Love- Shri Krishna. Ranging from the epic love story of Radha Krishna to devotional love of Mira and Krishna, this collection is an attempt to revive and celebrate traditional textiles and craftsmanship through the mythological essence and modern visual play.

Our peppy Krishna of previous theme has popped into this collection as well to pep up the vibrant vibe.
