Viveka 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 fourth stage of love: Viveka (Understanding).

In the Upanishads and Gita, Viveka represents the moment when clarity dissolves possessiveness. It is the stage where love shifts from attachment to awareness—where freedom is felt, not feared. Through understanding, the heart learns that true love is not a bond of control, but a space where both souls can breathe and grow.

Designed to reflect the calm clarity of Viveka, this two-tone cropped jacket celebrates simplicity, balance, and inner freedom. The clean, open-front silhouette allows ease and movement, symbolizing the release of weight and the quiet spaciousness that understanding brings.

The story rests on the sleeves: two exquisitely embroidered birds rendered in rich reds and blues, their forms softened by gentle symmetry. Positioned facing each other with lowered heads, they embody a love without ego—a posture of humility, respect, and unspoken acceptance. The Madhubani-inspired motifs around them echo harmonious growth, mirroring the shift from grasping to letting go.

The earthy palette grounds the piece, while the structured hem adds composure and stability. Three-quarter sleeves create a modern, effortless drape, making the jacket ideal for layering over simple dresses or tonal sets.

This is not just a garment—
it is a visual expression of Viveka: a reminder that true love is spacious, peaceful, and free from possession.
