{"title":"Lotus in the city (Women's)","description":"Lotus in the City\n\nPeace, rooted in motion.\n\nThe Lotus in the City collection was born from quiet moments of noticing—during my travels through Pondicherry and Bengaluru, two cities where spirituality and modern life exist side by side.\n\nThe first lotus appeared in Auroville, serene and grounded, rising gently above still waters. Later, the same lotus surfaced again—this time in the flower markets of Bengaluru, tucked between traffic, voices, and everyday rush. Each encounter felt like a reminder: peace follows those who learn to see it.\n\nSoon after came the swan—first etched into the architecture of the Art of Living International Centre, and then gliding through city parks. In Indian philosophy, the swan symbolises clarity, grace, and discernment—the ability to stay calm while moving through complexity. Together, the lotus and the swan became guiding motifs for this season.\n\nLotus in the City represents calm in chaos, stillness in movement, and a grounded mind amidst urban madness. Designed for modern city living, each piece carries the softness of slow fashion and the strength of Indian symbolism—clothes that breathe, flow, and restore.\n\nThis collection is an invitation to wear peace—\nto stay rooted like the lotus,\nto move lightly like the swan,\nand to find serenity, even in the busiest of days.","products":[{"product_id":"summer-of-the-pod-3","title":"Summer of the Pod","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"160\" data-end=\"181\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"160\" data-end=\"181\"\u003eSummer of the Pod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"183\" data-end=\"449\"\u003eWhen summer arrives in full force, the earth begins to speak — cracked mud under bare feet, the scent of dry leaves, light that lingers. \u003cem data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"339\"\u003eSummer of the Pod\u003c\/em\u003e is inspired by the parched yet poetic Indian summer, created as a tribute to those quiet, sun-kissed moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"635\"\u003eThis co-ord set includes a puffed, elbow-length sleeve shirt with a relaxed button-down fit, paired with matching mid-thigh shorts that are easy, breathable, and designed for movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"929\"\u003eThe delicate beige tone and pod-inspired handblock print are dyed using harad, pomegranate molasses, and fermented jaggery — a slow, 28-day natural dyeing process rooted in Ayurveda and traditional craft.
