02 — The idea
Nothing here is stamped out by a machine. Every pattern is counted, every thread pulled, by hand.
Aalankaar means ornament — the thing you add that makes a space feel ready for the occasion. We weave small, considered cora mats for weddings, festivals and everyday poojas.
03 — Collections
Woven by hand, one mat at a time
Every cora mat is handwoven on a bamboo loom and made to order. Each collection is restocked in small batches.
Shop everything
Four days a mat
A single lotus cora mat takes roughly four days on the loom, thread by thread.
04 — The studio
Woven on a bamboo loom
Wild grass is sorted, softened and dyed before it ever reaches the loom. The lotus and Tirumala namam patterns are counted out from memory — no pattern sheet, no machine guide. What comes off the loom is a little different every time, and that is the point.

05 — The making
From grass to backdrop
Four stages, all of them done by the same pair of hands from start to finish.
02
Weaving
Thread by thread, the lotus, kolam and Namam patterns are counted out from memory — no pattern sheet, no machine guide.
03
Finishing
Every mat is trimmed, its border stitched on by hand, and pressed flat before it leaves the workshop.
04
Sending
Made to order and dispatched in three to five days, rolled and wrapped with care.
07 — The whole table
Everything we make, all at once
10 pieces, 10 photographs. The catalogue is small on purpose — every one of them is made by the same pair of hands.
Shop everything
Used the kolam mat as our wedding stage backdrop — every guest asked where we got it, it looked like a proper handloom piece, not a printed banner.
Ordered a cora mat for our Ganesh chaturthi pooja — the weave and the lotus pattern were more detailed than the photos even showed.
The plain mat with the brown border is our everyday pooja backdrop now — it has held up through two festival seasons without fading.
