“This collection is more than just jewellery; it is a celebration of tradition, cultural pride and craftsmanship. Our Onam collection is a key step in connecting with the Indian expat community, particularly those from Kerala, in the UAE. We're committed to honouring Indian traditions with high-quality craftsmanship. By focusing on the cultural significance of Onam, we're not only enhancing our product range but also strengthening our brand's presence in this important market,” he added

Highlights of the Onam Collection:

Mohiniyaatom Haram: This bespoke haram draws inspiration from Kerala's traditional dance form Mohiniyaatom, celebrated for its elegant movements and emotive narratives. Displaying the Padma Mudra, the dancer takes centre stage, symbolising the lotus flower. The haram’s chain completes this as a swing, often decorated during Onam celebrations.

Thamara Vala: Symbolizing purity, prosperity, and spiritual growth, this 22 Karat gold kada features a hand-painted lotus flower pattern. The bangle’s design is a blend of traditional artistry and exquisite craftsmanship, making it a perfect gift for those who appreciate unique handcrafted jewellery.

Sunrays Gold Kada: The graceful silhouette of this stunning gold Kada showcases intricate lotus petal motifs, symbolizing purity, beauty, and divine perfection. The petals are adorned with vibrant ruby bead accents, adding a touch of festive colour, thoughtfully chosen to match with Vallam Kali Haram, creating a piece that is not just a piece of jewellery but a celebration of tradition and artistry.

Palakka Leaf Pendant: This exquisite 22 Karat gold pendant features a Palakka leaf, embodying the lush greenery and timeless elegance of Kerala. The pendant’s design is a harmonious blend of plain gold and green-tinted glass stone, making it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional outfits.

According to the media release, Tanishq is offering customers up to 25 per cent discount on gold-making charges and diamond jewellery during Onam. These offers are available both in stores and online, ensuring that customers can shop conveniently from anywhere.

The Onam Collection will be available across all Tanishq stores and online platforms, starting August 21, 2024.
