She went onto graduate in fine arts, majoring in textile design. Priya combined her love for art and textiles to create Mystic. She was inspired by Yantra, which evolved from Tantrism. Yantra is represented as an interesting variety of diagrams : forms, tones and colours, graphic patterns and powerful symbols bearing unique personal and universal significance. Some of these mystical designs serve as ground plan for Indian temples.
Her Mystic collection goes much beyond just cushion covers, it is a work of art. Take a dekko!
Her Ardhanari line. Priya's elaboration on her sources of inspiration make an interesting read, do spend some time doing so.
Panchabhutas Line
Dasa Mahavidhyas Line
And my personal favourite, the line inspired by the gorgeous Meenakshi temple in Madurai.
