Tilfi’s bridal collection is a tribute to timeless expressions of love and beauty, drawing inspiration from the storied Ashtanayikas as portrayed in Ragamala paintings. These evocative artworks, rich with symbology and poetic elegance, unravel the emotional essence of ‘Shringar Ras’—the rasa that celebrates love, devotion, and adornment. Rooted in Indian classical art, the collection carries forward a tradition steeped in romance and grandeur, weaving together motifs that mirror the sentiments and splendour of these historic paintings.
Classical Renditions of Love
The Ashtanayikas, or the eight heroines, embody the myriad of emotions of love in different states of union and separation. These masterpieces are visual odes to the Shringar ras, capturing the emotional spectrum of love in vivid detail—whether in anticipation, separation, fulfillment, or yearning. Nature serves as both muse and metaphor in these depictions, with flora and fauna interwoven as symbols of emotion. The Nayikas, through their gestures and settings, reveal love’s universality, drawing viewers into a world where beauty, passion, and poetry converge.
A Woven Verse of Poetry
Steeped in grandeur, the motifs in this collection echo the symbology of Ragamala art. Peacocks stand as symbols of beauty and yearning, recalling the absent lover. Saras cranes whisper tales of purity and fidelity, while full-bloomed lotuses evoke the unblemished beauty of the Nayika. Fruits such as pomegranates, ripe and abundant, signify fertility and prosperity, completing a narrative of abundance and grace - rendered with the finest craftsmanship. Opulent jaals and janglas unfurl like timeless verses, for a bride, who is both muse and protagonist. Each piece stands as a reminder of love’s eternal resonance, carrying forward the poetic grandeur of the Ashtanayikas.

Banaras Nocturne
A moment suspended, a fragment of a dream, a memory that lingers—Banaras Nocturne drifts between reality and reverie, weaving a narrative of fleeting connections and timeless spaces. It whispers of how memories unfurl, unbidden and fragmented, the past seeping into the present, transforming the ordinary into luminous fragments that linger in the heart's quiet corners.
Through narrow, moonlit lanes, two lives intersect—briefly yet profoundly—etched into the city's silent embrace. Banaras, veiled in stillness, becomes a realm untouched by time, where solitude and intimacy intertwine. Under the watchful gaze of the Ganges, the story unfolds in quiet intimacies—a journey from gentle discovery to a renewed comfort in each other's presence. From stolen glances and shared silences to an unspoken closeness, emotions take shape as memories—reminders that even in the stillness of night, the heart can hear the music of the past echoing long after the night fades.
In this nocturne, memory blurs with imagination, and the ephemeral finds permanence in the glow of quiet moments.
