Every Diwali, a quiet ritual unfolds. One that traces back to our lineage from the Tomar rulers of Dholpur, where the moonless Amavasya and luminous Purnima hold deep significance.
As tradition unfolds, everyone dresses in silver and old rose, which depicts many moods of the moon, it's 'Kalayein'.
This collection derives from the same ritual, the opulence of rich silver hues and intricate embroidery, bringing the spirit of festivities rooted in the celebration of tradition and legacy.

Capturing the essence of femininity and strength passed down through generations, each ensemble tells a story of legacy and refinement.
Soft pastels and vibrant florals intertwine, evoking memories of garden parties and cherished gatherings where stories were shared and laughter echoed through the halls. From delicate flutter of skirts to the understated brilliance of embellishments, indelible spirit of our 'Urmila' resonates in every seam and silhouette, paying homage to her enduring influence that shaped our sartorial sensibilities.
