This collection has been inspired by the frescos in Ajanta Caves.

Take a closer look at the lehenga. The designer has incorporated designs from the Ajanta frescos as handpainted Kalamkari on Kanchipuram silk.

The designer used only natural dyes obtained from the bark of tree, flowers and roots. The final result is here for all to see.

Models walked the runway in saris with stunning gold borders and intricate Kalamkari images.
