Flourishing through an abundance of India’s Flora and Fauna, Ayurveda has nurtured those in need of care for thousands of years. Red Rose Cassia is used to cure liver, Tulsi for common cold and Jeera for its fever. Each shares healing properties derived from either its roots, leaf, fruit, bark or seed.

Vana features hand painted botanicals transferred digitally to hand woven silk ; each appear to form their own trellis, becoming a new version of ornamental adornment and moreover acknowledging their vital role in the cure of our ailments.
