There is a corner in every old Indian home where the garden grows without permission — past the boundary wall, past the pot, into the cracks of the veranda floor. Aangan is that corner.
On a ground of textured cotton slub in pale celadon, the embroidery unfolds like a botanical study done from memory rather than reference. Protea-like blooms with tufted centres sit beside scattered clover, feathery fern fronds, trailing star-flowers, and climbing stems in warm tobacco brown. The palette moves between dusty rose, deep plum, sage, forest green, and soft lavender — never coordinated, always harmonious, the way a real garden is.
The edge is finished with a blanket stitch border in deep red — hand-stitched, slightly uneven, unmistakably made.
