Maharashtra

Maharashtra exists within the imagination of the people. It is either the hustling and bustling Art Deco of Bombay (now Mumbai) or the expansive vineyards of Nagpur, or the Konkani music, from a causal walk on the beach in your Kolhapuris, or the immersive journey inside the Ajanta and Ellora Caves; the state entrenched in the historical drama, or the cascading Western Ghats, or a causal sighting of stars never loses its momentum. The pre-colonial Maharashtra cradles a vibrant folk art and culture which produces a universal experience for the viewers. Whether it be Warli art, characterised by its use of geometric shapes and earthy tones, or Paithani sarees known not only for its zari embroidery, the collection, deeply rooted in tradition, offers a glimpse into the extraordinary craftsmanship that has been followed from generation to generation and still continues to captivate art connoisseurs.
