    In the grand tapestry of existence, life weaves its intricate threads, guided by the celestial dance of the Sun and Moon. The Sun, a symbol of vitality and growth, rises to illuminate the world, nurturing life's essence with its radiant warmth. With each passing day, it grants energy and renewal, embodying the cycle of birth and expansion. Yet, as day surrenders to night, the Moon takes its place, casting a gentle glow upon the Earth. It symbolizes reflection, introspection, and the ebb and flow of life's rhythms. In its serene presence, the Moon reminds us of the importance of rest, introspection, and the renewal found in darkness. The Sun Moon mohur duet, a fusion of these celestial forces, holds profound symbolism and power. It serves as a reminder that life's journey encompasses both light and shadow, growth and introspection. By wearing these charms, we carry the harmonious balance of these cosmic energies, allowing us to navigate the ever-changing tides of existence with grace and resilience. From Agaro's playful Mohur Collection, the charms are reminiscent of an ancient coin or something of value, collected over time and preserved to pass on. Hand-engraved and enameled in Meenakari or hot-fired glass enamel, they homage to the rich heritage of Mughal arts. Mohurs are inspired by their rich plum embroideries, dense embellishments, and geometric and floral motifs. What is unique is its reversible design, with one side etched in an intricate texture of gold and enamel, reminiscent of traditional craftsmanship and artisanal appeal. Turn the pendant around, and you'll be greeted by a miniature floral motif, evoking the splendor of a Mughal garden...
