A touch of traditional art
Taking cue from India’s varied art forms such as miniature craft and Tanjore paintings, along with natural elements, Rashi Agarwal of RoohaniRang has six exclusive cover options for her 2024 planners. “Each design takes you through a beautiful cultural experience, rich in history and craft,” says the designer whose planers are made with 100% recycled handmade and tree-free paper (upcycled industrial cotton waste). “Each planner is hardbound, and the pages are hand-stitched by our artisans. Each print you see is hand-painted, or hand-block printed.”
Designs include Sundarban, an ode to the forests; an elephant, and leopard theme among others. Rashi’s favourite, however, is the Kalpvruksh that depicts the tree of life in Warli art. “But the toughest to design was definitely the Sundarban planner, as it needed the right balance of the forest motifs, animal prints, and lotuses to create the whole scene,” she says.

For the coming year, artist Aishwarya Ravichandran has both, dated and undated planners with a range of elements. They feature 12 colouring pages as dividers, aimed at being “a creative outlet during stressful moments or a simple way to unwind,” she says.
