Title: “Padmapatra – Grace in Bloom”
Storyline:
“Born from the murky waters, untouched by the mud — the lotus teaches us the art of rising, blooming, and staying pure.”
‘Padmapatra’ by Qala Sannskriti is a hand-painted ode to resilience and inner radiance. Draped in soft ivory Chanderi, the striking pink lotus unfurls gracefully along the dupatta, grounded in lush green leaves — a visual metaphor for the divine feminine and the calm strength within.
Every petal and stroke is a story painted by transgender and rural women artists of Odisha — artists who, like the lotus, blossom despite adversity. This piece doesn’t just adorn; it empowers, carrying the sacred symbolism of growth, peace, and spiritual elegance.
Perfect for: Spiritual events, classical performances, cultural gatherings, or any day you wish to embody grace and quiet strength.
