Red-crowned cranes pirouette as a metaphor to ‘Revival’ in Hyderabad designer Archana Jaju’s new kalamkari lineHyderabad-based designer Archana Jaju’s new collection is called Revival, the name ringing apt as we step out of the second wave of COVID-19. Reportedly, there are around 1300 red-crowned cranes in Japan. Revival also alludes to the perseverance and resilience of the young, independent Indian woman, according to Archana.
