The Laksmi Fire Kain represents the burning intensity of Laksmi’s journey through the stage of anger. Dyed in a violet hue, created from a blend of indigo leaves and sappan wood, this kain reflects the powerful emotions that Laksmi feels as she grapples with the loss of her fiancé. The violet tone symbolises the fire within her—a force of both pain and renewal, where her anger begins to give way to inner strength and healing. Yet, within this storm of emotion, there is grace and determination.
The kain is accentuated with a rough, natural-coloured hand-stitched detail, forming the illustration of Laksmi’s face. The hand stitched details highlight her resilience and transformation, showing how even in moments of anger and frustration, Laksmi remains grounded in her own power, ready to move forward.
The unfinished edges add a raw, natural beauty, symbolising the unfinished story of Laksmi’s life, yet to be shaped as she grows from her grief. Versatile and timeless, this kain can be draped in multiple ways, allowing you to carry its story with you, whether as a wrap, shawl, or statement piece.
