Since 2017, Parvai has had the rare honour of collaborating with Shri M. Kailasam, one of India’s most revered living Kalamkari artists and a National Award recipient. His work transcends decoration it preserves a sacred lineage of storytelling through cloth.
Each sari in this collaboration is hand-drawn, never printed, painted slowly and reverently by Shri Kailasam and his wife Shrimati Kamala on Parvai’s handwoven silks. No motif is repeated, no design is commercial. His pieces draw from mythology, Andhra temple murals, and botanical and avian studies, using natural dyes from herbs, roots, and minerals. Over twenty-five originals, each taking 40–80 days, form part of Parvai’s archive of spiritual artefacts born from a shared belief that art, like beauty, must endure with purpose and integrity.
