London Lights, Chennai Weaves

Living in London means adjusting to cold winters, rushed days, and muted tones. But when Pongal arrives, I bring Tamil Nadu with me. I ordered a vibrant Kanchipuram silk saree from Dakshin Vastram, and the moment I opened the box, my home lit up.

Wearing it during our temple visit in East Ham, I felt royal. People stopped to admire the craftsmanship. And more than the compliments, it was the pride of being able to carry my roots on my shoulder.
