Behind the Weave: Our Journey and Community Events
From humble beginnings to our latest exhibitions across Bengaluru, this is the story of our journey and the community that makes it all possible.
A proud moment for me, holding our first-place award from the Gowda Princess fashion show. This was all about celebrating powerful women.

About Behind the Weave: Our Journey & Events
This gallery isn't just about the awards or the ramp walks, it is about the stories of the weavers we meet in places like Banaras and Kolkata. Every pop-up exhibition we hold, such as our long-running shows at Brigade Gateway, is a chance for me to help you choose a drape that fits your personal style, rather than just selling an outfit. When you walk into our studio or meet me at a festival, I want you to know the artisan behind your saree and the effort that goes into each block print.
When I started manSi, it was just a small dream born from teaching art to children. Today, it has grown into a space where I get to celebrate the strength and grace of women across Namma Bengaluru. This gallery holds the memories of that transition. You will see glimpses of our pop-up exhibitions, like the ones we have held at Brigade Gateway for over seven years, and moments from fashion walks where my clients walked as showstoppers. It is a joy to bring home unique weaves from weavers I meet during my travels with my daughter. Whether it is a Banarasi Khatan or a simple Kota silk, each piece carries the warmth of those hand-to-hand interactions. Receiving the Gowda Princess 2025 award was a humbling milestone, but the real reward is seeing you wear our creations to your family festivals and weddings. If you are curious about our upcoming exhibitions or want to know more about where a specific saree comes from, I am always here to share the history behind the weave. We believe in transparency, so ask me about the fabrics or the artisans whenever you visit our studio in Rajajinagar.
