In Hinduism, the name Gopika refers to the 108 milkmaids who devoted their lives to Lord Krishna and his eternal love for Radha, the chief Gopi. Their unconditional love and devotion to the duo have been transcribed in ancient scriptures, mythology and poetry as testaments of pure devotion.

It is said that Gopikas represent selfless love, purity, playfulness and devotion and these qualities have been beautifully romanticized in the brand-new Gopika collection by Suchita Pandey.

Pichwai (pichvai) is a style of painting that originated over 400 years ago in Rajasthan, India. Intricate and visually stunning, pichwai paintings are created on cloth and depict tales from Lord Krishna’s life. Creating a pichwai can take several months, and requires immense skill, as the smallest details need to be painted with precision.

In these, lotus blossoms dominate the playful scenes with Lord Krishna and his Gopikas. In Hinduism, the lotus also represents spiritual enlightenment, beauty, fertility, purity, prosperity and eternity.  The Gopika collection by Suchita Pandey takes inspiration from Pichwai paintings by replanting these ethereal pink lotus blossoms in the flatteringly flowing silhouettes of lehenga skirts, shirt hems and dupattas.

Flowing fabrics feature delicately hand embroidered Pichwai lotus flowers delicate in flattering hues of sky blue, earthy brown and crème.

Adorn a colour of your choice and treat yourself to a beautiful hand-crafted lehenga set that is both timelessly elegant and flatteringly comfortable, ensuring years of wear.
