Rajasthan has always expressed itself in abundance, in the grandeur of its courts, the devotion of its craftspeople, and the intricate languages they developed to adorn the women who moved through both worlds.
Gota patti, with its ceremonial ribbons of woven metal, and thappa work, with its deep-stamped repetition of sacred form, are two of those languages. Techniques born in the workshops of royal patronage, passed forward through generations of karigars who understood that craft is also culture and culture is also memory.
Mortantra and Heli Kusumgar meet here in that memory. One translating this inheritance into jewellery, the other into the potli, an object that has always held within it something precious. Together, this collection becomes a single gesture across two forms - a shared devotion to the craft traditions of Rajasthan, kept alive not just as homage, but as living practice.
