This document is the culmination of a journey that began with the goal of understanding the captivating tapestry of India's landscape, which presents a diverse array of awe-inspiring natural wonders. Among these, the region of Ladakh stands as an extraordinary gem. Nestled high in the northern part of india, Ladakh’s landscape is a mesmerizing blend of barren yet strikingly beautiful terrain.This document is a result of an extensive investigation into the landscape and culture of Ladakh, focusing on the perspectives of its people regarding colors, myths, and stories. Building upon the insights gained, the findings were used to develop a standardized collection of wall coverings for Wari Watai, a prominent design studio based in bangalore, known for serving major clients like asian paints. The ultimate aim was to pitch this project to Nilaya, a prestigious offering by Asian Paints renowned for its signature wall coverings sourced from top manufacturers worldwide.

It begins with the majestic mountain peaks, the region’s most prized treasures, and weaves its way through the intricate visuals of the leh palace. Each design in the collection is crafted with patience and meticulous attention to detail. The visuals are abstract representations inspired by the textures and finishes commonly found in Ladakh’s architecture and textiles, adding a unique and authentic touch to the collection. The ‘Ladakh diaries’ captures the essence of this extraordinary land and brings its captivating beauty to life, allowing it to adorn modern interiors with a touch of Ladakhi charm.
