Gajodhara Earrings

THE LEGEND

Gond folklore tells of celestial elephants traversing the heavens and Earth at will. In one tale, a winged elephant descended upon a village, causing chaos. Desperate villagers appealed to their deity for help. Heeding their call, the Lord intervened, severing the elephant's wings as it slumbered. Thus the once flying giant became earthbound. This ancient story reminds us that even the mightiest creatures were once capable of extraordinary feats, suggesting a time when elephants ruled not just the land, but also the skies above.

THE JEWELLERY

Featuring the majesty of the elephant, these stunning set of earrings, highlight the Mahua shaped winged ears,  hand painted on layered wood in traditional Gond pattern, Embellished with coloured glass beads and  gold dipped brass.
