An ode to the Toda people, the indigenous guardians of the Nilgiris, Threads of the Nilgiris is Nishita Fine Tableware’s contemporary reinterpretation of Toda embroidery. Nurturing a curiosity sparked by a photograph of a Toda family in her Ooty home — where Nishita Thakurdas first encountered the quiet dignity and intricate geometry of Pukhoor embroidery — the collection is the realisation of her deep engagement with the Toda community.
Across this 33-piece dinner set, the rhythmic geometry of the Puthukuli shawl is translated into refined porcelain. Designed for both intimate meals and celebratory gatherings, the set bridges heritage and modern living with effortless grace.
Designed for modern living and safe for dishwasher and microwave use, it blends cultural storytelling with everyday functionality.
More than a dinner service, it is a continuation of a story carried from thread to table, from the hills of the Nilgiris into the heart of the home. With a portion of proceeds going towards the Edhkwehlynawd Botanical Refuge (EBR) Centre Trust’s educational endeavours, Threads of the Nilgiris continues Nishita Fine Tableware’s commitment to design rooted in respect, responsibility and cultural continuity.
The 33 piece set comprises 6 dinner plates, 6 side plates, 6 small bowls, 6 katoris, 6 napkin rings, 2 serving bowls and a platter.
