A Home with Traditional Indian Touch:))


Elements of aesthetic and ethnic decor lend a stunning look to Jaiya Venkat's home at Bangalore in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is truly a home of her dreams. Her home reflects her aesthetic sense with collection of exquisite Indian artifacts and paintings. The beautiful Tanjour painting with deities images on the walls have a universal appeal and intangible presence of the omnipotent. 

As we go from room to room we are struck by the play of  earthy tones, vibrant colors and textures. The look gives a impeccable finish. The bed, couch and the chairs have a strong traditional characters. 

Jaiya created a harmonize,  elegant traditional home with her wonderful collections and I am pleased to share this beautiful home on  home tour series at Crystal grandeur.     
































 

Note on Tanjore Painting: Tanjore Painting or Thanjavur Oviyum in local language is a classical South Indian painting originated way back in 1600 A.D. from the town of Thanjavur or Tanjore. It is characterized by rich flat and vivid colors, simple iconic composition of glittering gold foils over laid on delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of glass beads and pieces or rarely precious and semi precious gems. The subjects of most paintings are related to Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

  1. What a Beautiful home! The rich deep colors and depth of tones in the wood are stunning. Sleek and modern with touches of tradition. So beautiful! My oldest daughter and I actually have touches of an Indian influence in our homes. One day I will post pictures of what we have. Sorry I haven't been commenting lately on your posts. I haven't had a computer for a couple of months and if I am in great need I go to the library and use theirs. Keep cool..Your friend, Valerie.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch
