ABOUT THE PROJECT

KOYARI is a premium Maharashtrian Diwali snack box that honors regional culinary heritage through evocative storytelling, symbolic design, and an elevated sensory experience. Inspired by the traditional koyari – the haldi-kumkum container integral to Maharashtrian rituals. The packaging reimagines this cultural icon as a lotus-shaped offering box, gracefully unfolding to reveal six artisanal delicacies from across the state.

BRAND CONCEPT

KOYARI reimagines Maharashtrian festive snacks as a curated journey across the state’s diverse regions. Each treat symbolizes local history, craftsmanship, and Diwali rituals, transforming the box into a cultural keepsake.
