How fashion designer Samant Chauhan’s memories from his home in Bhagalpur inform his latest collection
Designer Samant Chauhan reflects on how his Rajasthani roots and upbringing in Bhagalpur, Bihar, have shaped his creative journey and appreciation for silk weaving and ahimsa silk. His latest collection, “Where is My Home?”, draws inspiration from two childhood Diwali traditions in Bhagalpur: making miniature clay houses or gharondas and lighting clay fire pits as a symbol of purification and good fortune. These memories have inspired his first collection of gharonda bags, gold-accented jewellery paying tribute to Jaisalmer’s Golden Fort, and designs featuring earthy tones and flame-inspired embellishments.
