sanwara: beautified, improved

Description of sanwara: Sanwara is an Urdu word meaning something refined, adorned, or beautified, often referring to a person or object that has been elegantly groomed or enhanced. Unlike raw natural beauty, it emphasizes deliberate cultivation through care and artistry. Differs from mere decoration by implying an intrinsic polish that elevates overall grace. In poetry, it evokes lovers sanwara like blooming roses under moonlight's tender gaze.
