Putování do Indie a počátek Ashariyi: Můj příběh

Journey to India and the Beginning of Ashariya: My Story

In 2018, I embarked on an adventurous journey to the heart of India, driven by the desire to know the beauty of yoga and to discover the secrets of this distant land. I went through a month-long ashram stay that not only transformed my physical body but also opened my heart and soul. After the end of this unforgettable experience, I went on a journey around India full of energy.

The journey took me to the state of Rajasthan, where I discovered not only a fascinating culture, but also something that completely captivated me. I was walking through the picturesque city of Udaipur and happened to walk into the ancient shop of a local leather craftsman. His workshop was full of beautiful leather products, and I could not resist the charm of one of them - a leather notebook with labradorite. This stone enchanted me with its mysterious shine. I also admired all the other products and the skill of this craftsman. We exchanged contacts and I left. If only I had known what kind of friend this man would one day become.

The next stop on my journey was Pushkar. Pushkar enthralled me with its wonderful atmosphere and special charm. Here I met an artist, this time a jeweler, who took me to his small workshop. His jewelry, adorned with moonstones and labradorites, immediately caught my eye. It was not easy to choose just one piece, so I took away several pieces of jewelry from him, which have become my personal talismans. I still wear some of them today. When I said goodbye, I promised myself that I would come back, and I kept those words.

After returning to the Czech Republic, I visited several markets and met with admiration for all the products. After some time, I decided to connect with the craftsmen and start creating with them remotely and give their art a new home. And so the Ashariya brand was born.

Ashariya is not just an e-shop with jewelry and leather journals. It is a combination of my passion for yoga, my love for Indian art and the desire to bring a piece of the magic I experienced in the heart of India into people's lives. Each piece in our collection carries not only beauty and elegance, but also a story that connects past and present, west and east, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
