AN AUTUMN OF CELEBRATION & BEGINNINGS
Autumn is more than falling leaves and cooler air, it’s a vibrant season full of rich colors and meaningful traditions. It marks a time of festivals, beginning with Navratri’s celebration of divine feminine power and culminating in Diwali’s festival of lights. This article invites you to explore the rich colors, deep traditions, and soulful celebrations of autumn, and discover how the spirit of the season can be brought home through art and everyday moments.
HUES OF AUTUMN
Remember the feeling when the air turns warm again after the rain, and the fading smell of wet soil? That’s autumn arriving, an arrival that makes everything feel a little magical, a little brighter. Autumn doesn’t just bring cooler days or changing leaves, it comes wrapped in a spirit full of colors, festivals, and new lessons. Every falling leaf reminds us to let go and make space for something new - a reminder that endings, too, can be beautiful beginnings. It’s the time when nature teaches us to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to find gratitude in change. With vibrant hues like pumpkin orange, golden yellow, and warm browns, autumn colours aren’t just pretty, they represent the natural rhythms of life - change, growth, and transformation.

In Indian traditions, red stands for rajas - energy, vitality, and life force. It represents Shakti, the divine feminine power, festivals, and prosperity.
Orange/saffron is seen as a color of creativity, warmth, and sacred transformation. It reflects autumn’s spirit of shedding the old and welcoming the new.
Yellow connects to sattva - clarity, intellect, and joy. It’s tied to harvest and enlightenment. Golden tones in autumn symbolize abundance and gratitude for the season’s gifts.
Earthy browns and greens ground us. They remind us of patience, surrender, and the cycles of life. As leaves fall and earth rests, these colors reflect autumn’s deeper message - letting go and returning to our roots.

AUTUMN & FESTIVALS

Autumn arrives quietly yet with a spirit to light up everything around us. It brings with it the celebration of festivals that illuminate homes and hearts. As autumn settles in, festival season begins with Navratri - a vibrant nine-night celebration dedicated to the divine feminine. It’s a time of strength, courage, and the victory of good over evil. The surroundings are filled with devotion & hope, where community & culture comes together. Following that the joy flows into Diwali, the festival of lights. It’s a celebration of prosperity, new beginnings, and the triumph of light over darkness. Homes are decorated with marigold garlands, rangoli, and countless diyas, their flickering flames weaving warmth into every corner.

Festivals don’t just light up the world around us; they also ignite something deeper within. They remind us to awaken the inner light within ourselves—a light of wisdom, love, and peace, which makes us let go of negativity, embrace kindness, and spread warmth to those around us.

BRING THE WARMTH HOME?
Autumn wraps us in golden light and warm stories. The world outside slows down, colors deepen, and every corner feels a little softer, a little warmer. What is autumn, after all, but a season of stories? A time to gather, to share, to celebrate old traditions and make new memories.

But what if you could bring that same autumn warmth and those stories home, no matter where you are or what season it is? That’s where Lore quietly steps in. Through handcrafted journals, vibrant art prints, coasters, and magnets, it brings the spirit of autumn into your everyday life. Take Mahua, for example - a radiant burst of color and joy. She’s not just a painting; she’s the friend whose laughter fills a room long after she’s gone. Mahua embodies the uncontainable warmth and vitality of the season - every bright sari at a festival, every spontaneous dance in the living room, every precious memory where happiness arrived unexpectedly and stayed awhile.

When the world feels a little colder or the days pass too quickly, Lore offers a way to slow down, settle in, and fill your space with the feeling of autumn - warm, heartfelt, and full of stories. And in those simple, everyday moments, you realize: the warmth of autumn has found its way home, and Lore is there, quietly at its heart.
