The Story
Ganesha is invoked before every beginning, a remover of obstacles and a keeper of wisdom. Sacred Origin reinterprets this familiar iconography through a distinctly contemporary hand, allowing colour, form, and texture to depart from tradition even as the devotion underneath remains unchanged.The piece is entirely hand-embroidered on cotton canvas, built up through fine threadwork, hand-applied sequins, and bead detailing. These are techniques carried forward by artisan families across generations, brought together here over months of continuous, patient handwork. Nothing is printed or machine-assisted; every contour is placed entirely by hand.
Sacred Origin is part of KURU's debut Sacred Threads collection, created under the artistic direction of Shantnu Sihag, trained at Istituto Marangoni and Rubelli Venice. Each artwork is entirely hand-embroidered, and the intricacy of materials and technique means no two pieces can ever be truly identical. Every artwork carries its own character, impossible to replicate exactly by hand, and is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
The Artwork
Each piece is entirely hand-embroidered by master artisans, using techniques passed through generations. Because every stitch is done by hand, small variations between pieces are part of its character — not a flaw, but a signature of authentic craftsmanship.
Care Instructions
Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth — never a wet cloth or liquid cleaner — and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve embroidery colour and thread integrity. Handle it by its frame rather than the embroidered surface itself, and for any deep cleaning, consult a textile conservator rather than attempting to wash or iron it.
Shipping & Delivery
As each artwork is made to order, please allow for the hand-embroidery timeline shown above before dispatch. Once ready, pieces are carefully packed and shipped via courier, with tracking shared as soon as your piece is on its way.
Framing & Installation
Artworks arrive ready to hang, framed and secured. For larger pieces, we recommend professional installation, hung away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the embroidery over time.
