The intricate vine and floral motifs symbolize the “Tree of Life” (Kalp-Taru), representing fertility, prosperity, and the eternal cycle of nature. Each shirt is crafted using traditional hand-painting techniques with natural dyes derived from madder root, turmeric, and indigo leaves. Skilled artisans use bamboo pens (kalam) to create freehand designs, celebrating the Persian-influenced Mughal heritage while honoring centuries-old Indian textile craftsmanship.
