Vilakku : Lamp in Tamizh

A wonderfully light and breezy creation made by the dexterous hands of the Toda women artisans on a specially woven blend of organic cotton and Merino wool. The pukhoor (motif) seen in this design represents the sacred oil lamp of the Toda dairy temples.

This diaphanous fabric, which is far more delicate to work with than regular cotton, takes 6 to 8 days to hand-embroider. Read our story below.

Packed with love in a reusable muslin bag, hand-painted by the indigenous Kurumba artists of the Nilgiris, renowned for their traditional art depicting tribal life and rituals.
