Shah said: “This collection is about India’s glorious weaving heritage; ‘Taramati’ is a spectacular collage of unique captivating nostalgic romantic narratives through an extraordinary artisanal interpretation of the finest hand-crafted textiles, with a reassurance that our vast living culture of textile crafts is still practiced. Each saree is an art, keeping these legends alive.”
