Traditional Maharashtrian Crochet Crafts
I keep heritage alive by weaving traditional Maharashtrian motifs into modern, reusable crochet pieces for your home and puja space.
This is a 'Tatavaracha Rumal', a traditional decorative cover for a plate of food, often used during festivals. This one features a vibrant, multi-colored 3D petal design.

About Traditional Maharashtrian Crafts
These aren't just decorative pieces; they are functional, washable, and built to last. Whether it is a Tatavaracha Rumal (plate cover) to keep your prasad clean during festivals or a vibrant, plush asan for your idol, every thread is chosen to bridge the gap between old-school rituals and modern home maintenance.
I design these pieces to be practical additions to your daily rituals. My Tatavaracha Rumal designs are inspired by the patterns my Aaji used to make, but I reinforce the crochet with tighter stitching so they lay flat over a plate without snagging or slipping. They are perfect for covering food offerings during festivals or weddings without relying on disposable plastic or fragile lace.
For the puja corner, my crochet asan collection is about respect and aesthetics. I use soft, durable yarn that provides a comfortable seat for Bal Krishna or other idols. Because I hand-crochet each piece, I can match the color to your home temple's theme—whether you want a lotus-inspired red, a calming green, or a festive purple. These are low-maintenance treasures; you just need to hand wash them gently and lay them flat to dry, and they will stay fresh for years. If you have a specific idol size or a special color palette in mind for a family function, let me know, and I will craft it to your exact measurements.
