Our Story
The Parijat tree, cherished in Indian mythology, is known for its delicate, fragrant blossoms that bloom at night and softly fall to the ground by dawn. With their vivid orange stems and soft white petals, these flowers symbolize beauty, resilience, and the fleeting nature of time. Though their lives are brief, they serve as a timeless reminder of nature’s quiet grace.
One of my fondest childhood memories is waking up each morning and rushing into the front yard to gather the Parijat flowers that had fallen during the night. I would inhale their sweet fragrance and sometimes crush a few in my hands to release their orange hues. I would bring them inside to my mother, who would float them in a bowl of water, filling the house with their soft, lingering fragrance.
As I grew up, the Parijat tree remained a quiet presence in my life. It became a symbol of tradition, of nature’s gentle rhythms, and of the simple moments of beauty that remind us to slow down and appreciate the world around us.
Years later, while working in the corporate world, I found myself longing for those peaceful mornings and that sense of connection. So, I decided to leave the fast-paced life behind and embark on a new journey, one that would allow me to create space for those quieter moments.
And what better name to choose for my venture than The Parijat Tree? It perfectly embodies everything I want to share—nostalgia, beauty, mindfulness, and a deep connection with nature. Through The Parijat Tree, I hope to bring a sense of calm, belonging, and beauty into your homes.
Each of our creations reflects reverence for nature and tradition, combined with a playful spirit and respect for the earth's rhythms.
