Aam Patti Bandhewar and Toran

For centuries, homes across India have been adorned with bandhanwars and torans at their doorways during festivals and special occasions. Rooted in Vedic tradition, these vibrant garlands are believed to welcome prosperity, ward off negative energy, and honor Goddess Lakshmi, the bringer of wealth and abundance. Hanging a toran at your threshold is more than decoration - it is an invitation for auspicious beginnings and a symbol of hospitality, ensuring every guest who enters feels embraced with warmth and celebration.

At Almirah Stories, we’ve reimagined this timeless ritual for the modern home. Instead of the short-lived plastic or synthetic versions often seen today, our torans are crafted with handmade paper and sola wood flowers - natural, biodegradable materials that honor the earth while carrying forward tradition. Each piece is designed to last, blending sustainability with heritage, and to remind us that the most meaningful rituals are those that care for both our homes and our planet.
