The Mayura 2025 Collection – Where Beauty meets Light : A Story of Art, Inclusion and Partnership

We’re so proud of the creation story of the Mayura 2025 collection - it’s a great example of how thoughtful design can be a powerful vehicle for inclusion. This collection is much more than a set of products; it's a story of collaboration, empowerment, and artistic expression.

The Inspiration: Peacock and Lotus 🦚🌸

The theme of the Mayura 2025 collection revolves around two iconic symbols of Indian culture: the peacock and the lotus. The choice of these symbols is deeply significant, reflecting the core mission of Diya Innovations.

The peacock (Mayura) is a symbol of beauty, grace, and renewal. Its vibrant feathers represent the unique and colorful talents of each individual artisan.
The lotus (Kamalam) represents purity, enlightenment, and new beginnings. It is a flower that blossoms beautifully even from muddy water, symbolizing the potential for growth and flourishing regardless of one's background or challenges.

Together, the peacock and the lotus create a theme that celebrates inclusion in its purest form—recognizing the inherent beauty and potential within every person.

The Collaborative Process: Art and Inclusion in Action

The collection was a collaborative effort that brought together diverse talents and perspectives. A key part of its creation was working with Arya Anand, a design intern from the Srishti Manipal Institute of Design. This partnership brought a fresh perspective and a high level of professional expertise to the project. It proved that creativity and quality design can be seamlessly integrated with the unique skills of our artisans.

A standout piece from this collaboration is the 3-piece assembled peacock tealight holder. This intricate design, which can be seen in the collection, was the beautiful work of Sendhil Kumar, our Chief of Production. The complexity of the piece mirrors the collaborative spirit of the team.

Another remarkable creation is the table lantern featuring a delicately embroidered peacock feather. This piece was not just made within the walls of Diya Innovations but also involved artisans from the Association for Mentally Challenged (AMC) Bangalore. This collaboration is a powerful testament to the social enterprise's commitment to extending its reach and fostering an ecosystem of support for individuals with disabilities across the city.

The Mayura 2025 collection, with its stunning designs and deeply meaningful theme, is a shining example of how art and commerce can work hand-in-hand to create a more inclusive and joyful world.
