Agna – A Tribute To Navagunjara

Agna is a collection that paid tribute to Navagunjara at JD Design Awards. The collection was curated by Aishwarya B, Bhavya G and Aastha Jain who have pursued their Diploma in Fashion Design from JD Institute of Fashion Technology Bangalore. Navagunjara inscribed in the 15th century Mahabharata signifies strength, wisdom, and beauty through its uniqueness. Navagunjara is a symbolic form of the story which depicts the human mind being constrained and not able to see what holds beyond the imagination of the universe. Ajna is a tribute to what it signifies and the story it unfolds in the form of a magnificent creature. Each animal signifies a unique set of characteristics that are depicted in the collection through all 10 garments. This collection is inspired by the representation of draping in ancient India, where each drape has the essence of elegance, power, and knowledge. 

Agna received the Most Creative Design Collection Award from JD Design Awards 2023.
