At JADE by Monica and
Karishma we strive to amalgamate inspirations from our ancient historic jewels
with modern day luxury. Our search for some inspiration led us to the world
heritage sites Ajanta and Ellora located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
Our rummage through the glorious
history of Aurangabad’s heritage has left us awestruck! The spell-binding
beauty of Bibi-ka-Maqbara, the exquisite cave paintings in Ajanta Ellora, the
Soneri Mahal and Pithakhora has convinced us that the plethora of magnificent
aura has been around since like forever.
Strategically placed on
the Deccan plateau this city is undoubtedly the land of plentiful. Aurangabad is heading towards rapid industrial
growth, but it retains the nostalgic memories from its glorious past.
The Ajanta and
Ellora caves situated in Aurangabad exhibit incredible murals and paintings molded
into them that reflect the magic of Tantric Hinduism. The subtle yet striking color palettes that can
be seen murals in dense caves of Ellora have been major inspirations behind
JADE’s surreal ensembles.
The stunning cave
paintings and stone carvings in Ajanta and Ellora mark the changing fortunes of three major
religions Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism between the 5th and the 10th century
CE. The unique and breathtaking cave paintings have drawn visitors from all
over the world making it one of the most visited places in Maharashtra.
The rock-cut masterpieces in
Kailasha, Ellora remind us of the dedication and skills of the craftsmen of
that century. Like the mesmerizing murals at Ajanta-Ellora a JADE ensemble too
is created with Avant-Garde perfection! The mood and grandeur exhibited by
these caves have set tones for exquisite JADE collection.
The abundance of cultural
wealth cumulated in India continues to enthrall us! Our maneuvers have led us
to explore desolate areas of art. At JADE our search for unique styles have led
us to explore newer dimensions of our very own Jade masterpieces!
