Banjara Kasuti, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering Lambani women, proudly unveils its latest collection, “Noor Yadi” just in time for Mother’s Day. Derived from the Lambani language called Gormati, where “Noor” means radiance and “Yadi” means mother or Maa, this collection celebrates the essence of maternal love and the rich cultural heritage of the Lambani community.
The “Noor Yadi” collection features a range of handcrafted pieces, including waistcoats, jackets, kurtas, bags, and accessories. Each item exudes a blend of tradition and contemporary flair, reflecting the vibrant spirit of the Lambani culture.
Commenting on the launch Asha Patil, Founder of Banjara Kasuti said, “Introducing our new collection, inspired by a mother’s love. Each piece celebrates motherhood’s strength and grace with beautiful Lambani needlework. Made from eco-friendly materials like cotton and khadi, they honour both cultural heritage and our planet. This Mother’s Day, adorn yourself in these creations to honour the beauty and influence of the women who shape our lives.”
What sets this collection apart is its commitment to eco-friendly embroidery techniques, which reflect a profound respect for natural resources. Banjara Kasuti artisans prefer natural fibres like cotton, ensuring sustainability and minimising environmental impact.
The colour palette of the “Noor Yadi” collection is inspired by the Lambani landscape, featuring hues of white, blue, peach, red, and more with detailed Lambani embroidery. These colours not only add vibrancy to the pieces but also pay homage to the natural beauty of the Lambani heritage.
