that are associated with Lord Ganesha. These included simple and attractive forms such as Maheshwaram ( Lord of the Universe), Vakratundan (with his trunk askew), Alampata (the eternal), Harida (the golden one), Shoorpakarnam( the one with the large ears), Durja (the invincible), Avaneesh (master of the whole earth).The second collection is based purely on forms which are simple, minimal and free flowing and based on white and gold themes.The third collection is inspired by Nardi’s blackamoorbrooches.
