Freedom
Aranyani
The Goddess Of The Forest
Aranyani, meaning "forest" in Sanskrit, is home to divine feminine energies and Goddess Aranyani, who embodies the life-force energy, bestowing peace, prosperity, amongst nine divine gifts while nurturing life in nature’s balance. Fearless and mysterious, the Goddess dwells invincibly among beasts cloaked in nature’s beauty. A lover of dance, Aranyani’s ethereal presence is felt in the forest as her anklets’ bells softly chime and the leaves rustle while she walks by, divinely.
Freedom
The season story
In nature’s realm of vibrant hues, Aranyani, the Goddess of the Forest emerged in shimmering light, embodying the Life force - Monogram. Whispering wisdom, her eyes beheld nature's harmony - where the Eagle soared majestically and the Lily bloomed gracefully.
Aranyani observed the Eagle’s dynamic flight wove intricate Hand-Pleated patterns in the azure canopy mirroring the unique texture of its wings.
The Eagle soared in freedom, embodying Aranyani's wisdom of unity in the acceptance of opposites, a newfound inspiration.
While Lily, immersed in the art of Precious Stones, crafted meticulous designs with Red Garnet stones that reflected the tapestry of life.
Blooming under Aranyani’s guidance, Lily found self-discovery, beauty and harmony in nature’s diverse unity.
Fate wove its intricate threads by uniting Eagle and Lily, igniting their bond by a shared love for artistic expression and their diverse yet magical world of Precious Stones and Hand Pleated.
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
- Nelson Mandela
Inspired by each other’s artistic excellence, Eagle and Lily united their creativity, with Eagle mastering the art of Gold Gilding with 24K Gold, and Lily creating meticulous Mosaic artistry with precious Agate stones in Earthy hues. Together they transcended their individual styles, as an ode to freedom and art.
In powerful harmony, Eagle and Lily’s bond birthed Mixed Media, a fusion of their artistic styles inclusive of diverse techniques like hand painting, embroidery, beaded embellishment, and gold gilding; it symbolised the unity found in opposites and a celebration of their enduring love.
Aranyani, the omnipresent Goddess of the Forest, tearful and proud, beheld the flourishing masterpiece of Eagle and Lily, born of unity and love, before fading away in the horizon.
