Ganpati Bappa Morya!

Just back from a 2 week short-yet-hectic trip to South India :) and it looks like I need yet another holiday to recover from this one! :D

I made a couple of Ganesha paintings to be gifted to my sister and another cousin, and what better time to share them with you here on ColoursDekor than in the spirit of the Ganesha festival itself :)

Enjoy these glimpses :)







Sep 6th: I edited to add the photograph of the Ganesha idol I made this year for the pooja at our home.



Hope you all have had a blessed Ganesha celebrations, may the Vignaharta bring joy and prosperity to your lives! :)

Dancing Ganesha

New addition to my house – this beautiful dancing Ganesha.

Its simply gorgeous…. weighs 20 kils…. And has come all the way from India. Infact, my cousin Nithyu carried this for me…. I have no words to express how I feel!!




Ramie picked the wonderful cabinet He stands on!! Its actually a CD rack…. The wooden carved drawers are intricate and beautiful.


Here is a full view...


Do you like my new addition??

Peak into my nest

A sneak peak into my home…..

I always have loads of stories to tell!! Hence I chose blogging… The story behind my painted walls is so long that the pages of my blog are not enough.

The yellow and orange walls, being my inspirations, but the hard work of a lot of people. So thank you – Lesley, Arafat, Amrith & Rose…. for always being a part of my madness.

This is what you see as soon as you open the doors to my abode ..

The Ganeshji was a special gift from my brothers – Sunil & Lesley, all the way from their Bangalore trip. I instantly fell in love with HIM, and cleared everything else to give Him this most prominent place. This did not survive the travel. It took a few days and two pair of hands (mine & Sunil’s) to get this to where it stands today.
Can you tell…. That we’ve recreated it?

Can you see my love for colours... The orange and the yellow merge...

Orange is my new favourite colour. I do a lot of experiments on this wall all year long and will post a few of them in the coming months. Currently it holds, three paintings gifted by Savitha Aunty… all the way from Delhi.

Sit down and hold your breathe before you enter my home.

These bells hang on the inside of my door… Ooh! The welcoming sound of these bells ringing..

As you can see… I absolutely love bells !

This is the view when you are ready to walk out… The green pot is a gift from Mumbai, from my friend Karishma.

Oh… Warli (the art form) inspires me. It depicts the everyday insignificant yet meaningful lives of villagers!! More introduction to Warli in my coming blogs… so keep watching.

My younger daughter rings the bells (remember, I love bells). Don’t miss out the mini bells. This Ganeshji, all the way from Mumbai – thank you Alita!

As you can see… the entrance of my nest (and the passage to my life) highlights the love of the people in my life!

Welcome to my home… Colours and corners of my living space to be showcased soon.
