An ancient world,
still unfolding.
The Vedas. The Puranas. The epics.
The rituals that grew around them.
About light and darkness. Desire and duty.
Beginnings and endings. What we offer.
What we receive.
A VERSE FOR BEGINNINGSअसतो मा सद्गमय
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय
Lead me from the unreal to the real.
From darkness to light.
From mortality to immortality.
— Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
OUR PHILOSOPHYTradition deserves
curiosity.
Not everything old needs preserving exactly as it was.Not everything new needs abandoning what came before.
To know the source.
Understand the meaning.
Then make something of your own.
OUR WORLDThe old world, in full colour.
India has never been afraid of ornament.
