A Piece of Home in a Parcel – My Bishnupuri Silk Than Story

This Diwali, something changed. Far from Kolkata, in chilly Manchester, I received a parcel wrapped in warmth and memory. Inside lay a Bishnupuri Silk Than from Dakshin Vastram. As I touched the fabric, it reminded me of Maa choosing sarees in Gariahat. I stitched it into a saree and wore it during Lakshmi Puja, and for a moment, I was home again.
