Thanjavur collection at LFW X FDCI
The newest design by Reliance Jewels, Thanjavur was unveiled on the runway by Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu. Taapsee's heritage neckpiece from the Thanjavur collection, which was inspired by the Golden Period of the Chola Empire in Thanjavur, giving her the regal appearance of a queen.
Located in Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur is an important landmark for South Indian art, architecture, and temples. The city was the capital of Chola Empire back in the days and was ruled by various dynasties including the Pandyas, Vijaynagar Empire, Madurai Nayaks, Thanjavur Nayaks as well as the British Empire.
The city is home to a rich and vibrant culture and is famous for the Brihadeeshwara temple, Thanjavur paintings, Thanjavur dolls, and many more. Reliance Jewels’ Thanjavur collection draws inspiration from the divine temples, the mesmerizing architecture, the magnificent Durbar hall, Poompuhar, and the exemplary art of Thanjavur, including woodwork, paintings, metal and brass artefacts, and much more.
The Thanjavur collection is the culmination of our journey to this beautiful region and the preview at LFW featured exquisite chokers, long necklaces in gold and diamond accompanied by a wide range of finger rings, bangles and other accessories that seamlessly blended with Monisha’s Pret and Couture wear on the runway. We are excited to launch this collection at Reliance jewels Showrooms across India for Akshaya Tritiya this April.”
Actress Taapsee Pannu said: "It was an honour to walk for Reliance Jewels & Monisha Jaising. I feel like a queen in the fabulous couture wear by Monisha Jaising and the exquisite Jewellery by Reliance Jewels. Reliance Jewels’ newest collection, Thanjavur, has my heart, as their jewellery line draws inspiration from breath-taking architecture of temples and its intricate carvings, the incandescent colours of darbar halls, and the effervescent charm of art & crafts from Thanjavur.
This stunning heritage neckpiece I am wearing is inspired by the glorious Chola Empire's Golden Age in Thanjavur. The necklace is decorated with coins that represented the Chola Empire King's conquest of several nations, and the names inscribed in the plates represented the titles he attained as a result of his numerous triumphs. Every piece in the collection is equally stunning & I'm sure everyone will love the incredibly fascinating collection as much as I do".
