Viraha Jacket

The collection “The Madhubani Love” draws inspiration from the timeless Madhubani paintings — a traditional art form rooted in the cultural heritage of Bihar.

Each piece in this series represents one of the five stages of love described across various Indian scriptures.

This jacket illustrates the third stage of love: Viraha (Seperation).

In the Bhagavata Purana, Viraha is the moment when distance reveals truth. It is the stage where separation sharpens emotion, testing ego, clarity, and inner strength. Pain becomes a mirror, showing what the heart truly values—proving that love often deepens in the space between two souls.

Designed to portray the contemplative beauty of Viraha, this muted grey jacket carries the quiet depth of distance in every detail. The structured silhouette offers calm restraint, while the gentle texture of the fabric reflects the stillness that follows separation — a pause filled with unspoken reflection.

The Madhubani-inspired front panel forms the soul of the piece. Branches rise and curve across the bodice like tangled thoughts, each leaf rendered in earthy tones that echo the weight of longing. Two birds rest on opposite sides of the tree, close yet divided by the central line of the placket — a symbolic distance that mirrors the emotional space between two hearts learning the meaning of love through absence.

The mandarin collar adds a composed, introspective finish, framing the neckline with minimalist refinement. Full sleeves and clean hems enhance the sense of quiet stability, making the silhouette feel grounded and serene.

Perfect for layering, this jacket transforms into a wearable expression of Viraha — a reminder that separation often deepens understanding, sharpens emotion, and reveals the true essence of connection.
