Celebrating Hartalika with the Parna Collection by Swaabhi

Parna Collection: An Ode to Nature’s Beauty

Nowadays, jewellery is more than just an accessory; it’s an extension of one’s personality. It’s a medium to express your style, culture, and most importantly—your story. At Swaabhi, we craft jewellery that embodies rich Indian cultural heritage while reflecting your inner self. With this philosophy, we present our Parna Collection, inspired by the charming and simplistic beauty of Mother Nature.

The Significance of Leaf Motifs

The word ‘Parna’ means Leaf in Sanskrit. In Indian culture, leaves symbolize growth, prosperity, and new beginnings. The use of leaf motifs dates back centuries and is linked to various religious, philosophical, and cultural ideologies.

• Association with nature: Leaves are vital in Indian culture, symbolizing purity, rebirth, and the circle of life. They are frequently used in rituals and offerings to Gods.
• Symbol of growth: In Indian traditions, leaves represent life, development, and fertility. Their presence in rituals signifies life’s continuation and prosperity for future generations.
• Holy trees and plants: In India, plants and trees like the peepal, banyan, mango, and tulsi are sacred. These leaves are used in religious ceremonies to seek divine blessings and protection.

The Story of Hartalika

According to Hindu mythology, the story of Hartalika depicts the challenging journey of Goddess Parvati to marry Lord Shiva. Despite facing many obstacles, Parvati’s friend helped her escape to a forest, where she meditated until Lord Shiva recognized her devotion and agreed to marry her. Since then, women observe Hartalika Teej, hoping to find their ideal partner.

The Parna Collection

Swaabhi’s Parna Collection celebrates the intrinsic charm and heritage significance of leaves. Each piece in this collection captures the subtle patterns and natural beauty of leaves, resulting in jewellery that is both exquisite and timeless.
