For all those who love Ganesha...here's another one of my Ganesha
in one of the best forms....We just like to light diyas ( Earthen
Lamps) for no particular occasion. They just add to the essence of
the room.

This handmade Photo album is an amazing piece of collection.
There are lot many which come in different fabrics,colors,designs.

Today I would tour you around the amazing handicrafts made in Bali.

Bali is known as a treasure house of interesting goods to buy.

Happy Dasara.

Durga Pooja at my place today.

Auspicious Kumkum(red) & Haldi(Yellow)powders

Earthen Lamps lit and flowers are holy during the festivals

The warm light from the candle inside the Chaba Spa Sandstone is just stunning. I picked this from Thailand and it can be used just anywhere. I sometimes just place it at the entrance of my home to give that warm soothing feel.

Scented Candles & flowers they are a combination for any occasion or just any day.
The shimmering glow from the candle lights and the fresh sweet smell from flowers could just create the atmosphere......truely it would

Another one of those floating flowers on the Traditional Indian Uruli makes the stunning

entrance in my home.

Flowers aren't they beautiful...I love to float flowers in water...
I just like the way they look..amazing isn't it....
i place them in quite a few corners of my home.
Just an addition of a floating candle will do the garnish complete.....

How I deduced the Name : Mudra – A Sanskrit word meaning – Gesture
I am true bharatnatyam fan and love the "Mudras" - gestures or picture tools of identification of deeper meaning made by the dancers.
This word has inspired me to such an extent that I choose this to Be the Title of my blog….
I thus used Mudram a Mediam or Gesture to explore and exhibit all that is so beautiful
to eyes and mind....

This Dancing Apsaras are made of Sandstone and I got it shipped from Thailand.
They look absolutely stunning in just the candle lights above.
Thailand is an amazing place to shop from clothes to handbags and from food to
artifacts.

"Vismaya" - Our Home

Its true that Home is where your heart lives,
Our home is simple and Straight-forward.
We've named it "Vismaya" - which means "Suprise"
in Sanskrit. Neutral hues,gracious blend of lighting and
Straight cut Carpentry sum up a picture of spacious serenity.
We blended it with Indian and Oriental styles of art to give it
that niche finish.
