In a Gujarati wedding, the Antarpat is more than a ceremonial cloth—it marks the moment before two lives come together. While traditionally simple, it can also become a canvas for storytelling. In this piece, I share the inspiration behind designing my own hand-embroidered Antarpat, weaving together sacred symbols, personal memories, and meaningful details to create a keepsake that celebrates both tradition and our unique journey.

Forests ground me, heal me, and fuel my creativity. Each visit a soulful escape.

Fifteen years later, I still return to Gaumukh in my mind, where the Ganga began, and where Enii found its true source of inspiration.
