Description

Original Art: Handwoven textile from the Kasim Silk Emporium
Era: Modern piece, ancient tradition
Region: Varanasi, India
Artistic, religious and cultural traditions unite in this handwoven Padma design by Paperblanks, originally crafted in Varanasi, India. The name “padma” refers to the lotus flower, one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. One of the most recognisable Buddhist symbols, the lotus represents growth of the soul.

An expression of faith and spirituality, this brocade fabric is both beautiful and highly symbolic, and the care that goes into each individual stitch is a visual example of the weaver’s adherence to a sacred ritual. With Paperblanks Sacred Tibetan Textiles series, we pay tribute to the rich heritage of Indian handweaving and to the craftspeople who continue this devotional practice today.
