Chennai, July 19, 2025: As the Aadi Perukku season dawns, bringing with it a wave of peace, prosperity, and sacred beginnings, Tanishq, India’s largest jewellery retail brand from the House of Tata, unveils its latest collection, ‘Agalyam’, inspired by the Vilakku. Rooted in Tamil tradition, the Deepamsymbolises light, knowledge, and divine presence. The collection is a tribute to these sacred symbols- a celebration of spiritual grace and timeless beauty. Thoughtfully designed for the Pudhumai Penn of today, this collection reflects her pride in heritage and her spirit of progress, rooted yet evolving, graceful yet bold. The campaign reimagines the culturally rooted idea of ‘Pudhumai Penn’ – which celebrates the duality and dichotomy of women of Tamil Nadu. Each piece is dedicated to her duality. The woman who is the custodian of her roots and culture, but at the same time a harbinger of change.
Drawing from the rich visual language of Tamil heritage, Agalyam is a luminous curation of jewellery that pays homage to the sacred glow of traditional lamps from the deeply rooted Kamatchi Vilakku and Pavai Vilakku to the Thooku Vilakku and Thattu Vilakku. These timeless symbols of light and divinity are reimagined into striking jewellery pieces that blend age-old tradition with modern-day sophistication. Each design is crafted with intricate detailing from Kasuaccents and fine Rava textures to beautifully carvedNakashi patterns and classic South Indian stone settings starting at ₹60,000 onwards. With this collection, Tanishq invites you to embrace a collection that is not just ornamental, but a radiant celebration of cultural legacy, spiritual symbolism, and enduring elegance.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Arun Narayan, Vice President, Category, Marketing & Retail, Tanishq, Titan Company Limited, said, “Tamil Nadu holds a special place in Tanishq’s journey; it is not only a key market but also home to our first manufacturing unit in Hosur and our very first store on Cathedral Road. This year’s Aadi Collection is a heartfelt tribute to this deep-rooted connection. With Agalyam, we draw inspiration from the traditional Tamil lamps that signify light, divinity, and new beginnings. This is also our way of paying tribute to every Pudhumai Penn of Tamil Nadu- women who carry forward rich traditions while embracing change with grace, generation after generation. They are the true spirit of this land, and through this collection, we celebrate their strength, elegance, and cultural pride.”
