Down the memory lane....My Delhi Home...a few snapshots!!!

You may call it  'An Orange Home',  'A Traveller's Canvas' or 'An Ethnic Indian Nest'....whatever may be, but it is just like that!
WELCOME to my Delhi home.


..for colours and warmth..




my favourite corner..with a good book and a hot cuppa.


Late night Chai-ki-adda..a weekend moment.


Are you lokking for some 'Ethnic Indian Inspiration(s)' ?


..and a Diwali moment.


Colours of India.


 Those  Delhi days! Those lovely and lively, colour full, vibrant days. Till now I can feel the warmth...and miss it terribly at the same time.


Long long drives to Rajasthan,Gujarat, Himachal, Punjab.....the NH8 drive, road side dhabas...'makki-di-roti or sarsho-da-shag' , sarsho-ki kheti, matki ki pani, mitha lassi...Diwali-Lohri-Holi....Rajpath-Janpath-GK-CP....those dusty crazy summers...lovely-flowery-chilly winters....all those fairs, a stroll through 'Dilli Haat', it's so nostalgic...

Traditional needle work from Rajasthan....my all time passion


Traditions...and colours...and Ethnic Indian Decor Inspirations...

 puppets and bird hanging mobile.....

Traditional Art and Craft has been and shall be a reflection of cultural, socioeconomic, climatic and historic state of society at all times.....


Jaipur and Ajmer are the main centres of production of Traditional Rajasthani 'Gotta Art Work'.



In recent years pure silver yarns are replaced by synthetic yarns...
floral and animal motifs are commonly used...


Some of my Rajasthani Handicraft collections...


Needle works from the 'Desert State'


The work was previously done on pure Georgette, Chiffon, Velvet and Silk...whereas as in recent years synthetic fabrics are used for the production. The colours commonly used are Red, Orange,Yellow, Pink, Maroon and Magenta :)

Indian Colour Platter and My Singapore Home :)



South-East Asia and India has long been correlated culturally and this is my humble way to showcasing 'The Great Indian Art and Culture' at the backdrop of this 'Oriental World'....


The vibrant Indian colour scheme plays as an instant mood up lifter :)



For freshness and zeal....loads of Red, Yellow,Pink,Maroon,Magenta and Orange ...


Red Chinese Chopsticks, Chinese Table Runner, Fruit Bowl and Candle Stands blended with warm, colourful Indian decor.....



Rajasthani and Gujarati  'Mirror and Zari' work....reflection of Indian styling and design....




Have a lovely week ahead... :)...:)
