Bengaluru, May 28 : Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, invites every woman to be the bride of her dreams with the launch of their latest bridal collection Madhuragini. Drawing from the sacred traditions of the land of Mithila, the collection is a celebration of Madhubani art, which was first crafted as part of the grand celebrations for the wedding of Lord Ram and Sita. This ancient visual language, rich with symbolism of divine union, transition of a woman, and spiritual protection, is meticulously translated into our pieces through fine craftsmanship, ensuring every motif carries the weight of heritage and the grace of a blessing.
This masterpiece is crafted in 22kt gold, inspired by the Madhubani art form that has long defined the essence of weddings in Bihar. Complementing this is a thoughtfully curated, accessible range including necklace sets, earrings, rings, maang tikkas, naths, and mangalsutra dolnas. Crafted across price ranges, these pieces are designed to accompany every bridal trousseau, from ceremony to celebration.
Madhuragini unfolds in two exquisite layers, each capturing a moment in the journey of love and togetherness.
The first layer of the masterpiece, the Samyukta Haar, a divine choker, captures the grandeur of the wedding as it unfolds like a sacred procession in gold. At its centre, the Dulha and Dulhan stand in harmony, symbols of balance and union, accompanied by the graceful Mor and surrounded by Baratiyaan that echo the vibrant spirit of a traditional Bihari ceremony. Sacred elements such as the Shankh mark auspicious beginnings, while delicate jaal work binds the composition in a story of interconnectedness, anchored by the Tree of Life – a timeless emblem of lineage, continuity, and generational blessing. The presence of Palash, the Flame of the Forest, brings with it vitality, renewal, and the spirit of celebration, emerging as a quiet metaphor for marriage itself—two lives coming together in shared warmth and harmony. The narrative gently culminates in the Nrityangana, a dancing form that embodies grace, transition, and the celebration of womanhood – reflecting not an end, but a becoming, where a new chapter unfolds and her divine feminine energy is honoured in its fullest expression.
The second layer, the Sita Haar, draws from the sacred Kohbar Ghar, which is the chamber of union where new beginnings take root. Capturing the emotional essence of togetherness and abundance, the motifs of this layer settle upon the bride like a blessing. The Latpatiya Sugga speaks of love and companionship; the Maach Raas reflects fertility, harmony, and abundance, while the Shankh carries the resonance of auspiciousness and protection. This layer celebrates the sacred bond of marriage through traditional pairs of Shankh (Conch), Maach Raas (Fish), and Latpatiya Sugga (Parrots). Together, these motifs glimmer with a story of togetherness, continuity, and shared destiny.
Sandeep Kohli, CEO, Indriya, said,
“At Indriya, we believe in bridal jewellery being deeply personal. Madhuragini is an ode to Bihar’s rich artistic legacy and thoughtfully designed brides who remain rooted to their heritage. Playing to contemporary sensibilities, the collection’s strong center piece and supplementary pret pieces; crafted into 22K gold add to the relevance and traditional appeal to consumers, who have a willingness to invest in gold jewellery, especially keeping in mind its purity, quality and design.”
Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing & Visual Merchandizing, Indriya, added,
“Weddings are a crowning moment in a bride’s journey, and the jewellery she chooses becomes an enduring investment in that defining milestone. With ‘Be the Bride of your Dreams’ our ambition is to carry on rich local heritage for contemporary brides. In Bihar, families and brides remain rooted in local culture and heritage, where every ritual carries deep meaning. With Madhuragini, we draw from the highly regarded Madhubani art, which takes from the celestial union of Lord Ram and Sita; as it stands as one of the most enduring symbols of love and sanctity in India. The collection honours this legacy through modern storytelling and design, allowing brides to connect with their roots in a way that feels both deeply personal and timeless.”
Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design, Indriya, further added that “Weddings in India are a profound expression of culture, and in Mithila, they begin with art that blesses the union itself. Designing Madhuragini was about translating the intricate storytelling of Madhubani art into fine jewellery. From the sacred Kohbar Ghar murals painted within the marital chamber to the graceful Dulha-Dulhan surrounded by the Baratiyaan, alongside traditional Jodis of Latpatiya Sugga (intertwined parrots), Joda Mor (twin peacocks), Maachh-Raas (dance of the fish), and divine floral motifs like Palash, iconic elements of Madhubani art have been thoughtfully woven and reinterpreted to preserve their symbolism while embracing a refined contemporary aesthetic. The craftsmanship lies in balancing detail with wearability, as it is woven not painted, to create pieces that are not just visually striking but also emotionally resonant for the bride.
Indriya’s regional bridal collections extend this tribute to the diverse cultural tapestries of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, alongside a divine collection of South Temple Jewellery. These pieces are meticulously crafted for the woman who seeks to be the bride of her dreams, honoring her sacred heritage on her most important day. Whether through the regal motifs of the West or the spiritual grace of the South, Indriya ensures every bride wears a masterpiece that resonates with her heritage and makes her heart whisper— dil abhi bhara nahi.
