Taranga Pendant

The Taranga Pendant captures the eternal rhythm of waves—that endless conversation between water and shore, the repetitive yet never-identical motion that has mesmerized seekers and storytellers for millennia. This exquisite brass pendant is the inaugural piece from the River Sutra Collection, designer Muskan Jain's meditation on how water shapes both landscape and soul in Odisha.

The pendant's elegant teardrop form features hand-etched ribbing that mimics waves in perpetual motion. One half showcases deeply textured vertical lines—like water flowing, surging, moving with purpose—while the other half remains smooth and polished, representing the mirror-like stillness of temple tanks at dawn. This duality speaks to the two aspects of water's wisdom: the active energy of Puri's crashing waves and the contemplative quiet of Bhubaneswar's sacred ponds.

A lustrous freshwater pearl crowns the pendant, like a single drop suspended at the moment before it merges with the infinite. The pearl's natural iridescence captures how light plays on water's surface—sometimes silver, sometimes gold, always shifting with perspective and time.

Suspended from a delicate gold-toned chain, the Taranga Pendant rests gracefully at the collarbone. It catches light as you move, creating its own subtle ripple effect—a reminder that you carry with you the eternal motion of waves, the sacred flow that Gita Mehta so beautifully chronicled in her river stories.

Versatile enough for both daily ritual and special occasions, Taranga transitions effortlessly from meditation practice to beach walks to contemporary workspaces. It speaks to those who find spirituality in natural elements, who understand that water carries stories, and who recognize in the pendant's flowing lines the sutras—the threads—that connect us to something larger than ourselves.
