TELSTRA CELEBRATES EVERYDAY INTERNETTERS WITH ‘HAPPY INTERNETTING’

Taneira’s Durga Pujo campaign, From a Mother’s Hands to Yours, celebrates the timeless bond between mothers and daughters. Drawing parallels with Maa Durga’s homecoming, the film uses the saree as a symbol of memory, tradition and continuity, highlighting how rituals and emotions are lovingly passed down through generations.

Durga Pujo has always been more than a festival; it is a homecoming, a return to roots, and a reaffirmation of bonds that transcend time. This year, Taneira, the youngest retail brand of Titan Company Ltd, has chosen to celebrate that spirit through a campaign that places the mother–daughter relationship at its heart. Titled From a Mother’s Hands to Yours, the film draws a poignant parallel between Maa Durga’s annual return and a daughter’s journey back to her origins, using the saree as a living metaphor for memories, traditions and generational ties.  

The narrative unfolds with a daughter learning to drape her mother’s saree, a gesture that is both tender and symbolic. As the story progresses, she eventually gifts her mother a new saree, completing a cycle of love, gratitude and continuity. In this exchange, the saree becomes more than fabric; it becomes a vessel of emotion, a thread that binds past to present, and mother to daughter.  

For Taneira, the campaign is not merely about festive storytelling but about positioning the saree as a cultural heirloom. The brand, whose name is derived from Tan (body) and Eira (the Sanskrit name for Goddess Saraswati, symbolising knowledge, art and craft), has consistently sought to bring the #BestOfIndiaUnderOneRoof. Its curated collection of handcrafted weaves from across the country reflects the diversity of Indian textiles, reimagined for discerning women of today.  

Every Taneira store is a treasure trove of India’s weaving traditions. From intricate Kanjeevarams and Banarasis to vibrant Maheshwaris, Chanderis and Bengal cottons, the brand offers sarees for every occasion. Bridal silks, lighter daytime chiffons, elegant tussars and evening wear are all part of its repertoire. Each piece is crafted in collaboration with established weavers and celebrated artisans, with Taneira’s design team adding contemporary touches to ensure that no two sarees are alike. Just as every woman is unique, so too is every saree that adorns her.  

The campaign resonates deeply with the essence of Durga Pujo, where rituals are not just performed but lived, and where emotions are not just expressed but inherited. By weaving together the imagery of Maa Durga’s homecoming with the intimate gestures of a daughter and her mother, Taneira underscores the idea that traditions are not static relics but evolving practices, enriched with each generation.  

In celebrating the saree as both a garment and a memory, Taneira has created a campaign that is as much about identity as it is about fashion. It reminds us that while styles may change and fabrics may evolve, the emotional threads that connect mothers and daughters remain unbroken. This Durga Pujo, Taneira’s message is clear: the saree is not just worn, it is lived — passed from a mother’s hands to a daughter’s heart.
