Some doors open inward.
Into silence.
Into devotion.
The Hand-Embroidered Mayur Mandir Panel is one such door — not simply stitched, but summoned. Part of our Sacred Within Threads collection, this artwork evokes the sanctity of temple entrances, where vibrant colors and sacred geometry meet the softness of memory and prayer.
At the center, a resplendent peacock sits in full bloom — its tail feathers fanned like sacred fire, embroidered in rich blues, emerald greens, ochres, and marigolds. Every plume is carefully hand-beaded by our master artisans, creating a radiating mandala of movement and stillness.
The peacock, or Mayur, in Indian tradition is more than ornamental. It is the vehicle of Saraswati, the guardian of rain, a witness to love and longing. Its placement above the jaali-framed shrine signifies beauty born from inner knowing — an invitation to see the divine not outside, but within.
Twin lattice doors at the base open to a recessed alcove — a small sanctum for placing an idol, a diya, or a treasured token of prayer. When closed, the doors become part of the ornate façade; when open, they transform the artwork into a functional mandir, intimate and radiant.
Framed in deep indigo waves, surrounded by lotuses and blooming vines, this piece holds both reverence and riot — like India herself. A temple in thread, stitched to return you to presence.
