Humble yet profound, the Khadau represents a journey of stillness, discipline, and spiritual resilience. Deeply rooted in Indian tradition, it was worn not for comfort but with purpose. Its coarse textures speak of time, labour, and lived experience, while the raised heel carries both symbolic and functional weight. For ascetics, this elevation signified a physical and metaphysical separation from the material world. My interpretations of the Khadau aim to preserve its quiet wisdom—a reminder that even the smallest, most deliberate steps can become a path to transcendence.
