The showcase featured four
vibrant wallpapers,
each narrating India’s cultural ethos through various mediums. ‘The Hunt’ in gauze depicted
the wild and free spirit of nature, ‘Eye’s Right’ in lustre brought forth the regal magnificence of
India’s majestic past, ‘His Master’s Voice’ in gauze carried the undertones of loyalty and tradition,
and ‘Road to Damascus’ in shantung silk spoke of a rich cultural exchange along ancient routes.
This was a symphony where textures served as notes, and patterns formed a melody.
