Gujarat Day 4. A long drive to the Little Rann of Kutch with incredible stops: Patan’s stunning stepwell, Patola weavers creating double-ikat saris, and a sun temple filled with intricate carvings. Another fantastic day.

Arad Days—two events, two unforgettable experiences. Different events, united by the same passion: art, creativity, and the beauty of wearing something unique. My hand-painted creations became stories worn with style. My Arad. My art. My passion.
