About this collection

For a Namakarana, it is not just about the backdrop. I focus on the storytelling element, arranging traditional dolls that reflect your family's joy alongside a custom cradle setup. Whether it is a lotus-themed name reveal or a classic cradle decorated with fresh jasmine, I ensure the setup is functional for the rituals while keeping the vibe intimate, just like a celebration at namma mane (our home).

Your baby’s naming ceremony is a significant milestone, and the decor should reflect that warmth and tradition. Over the last four years, I have styled hundreds of Namakarana functions in Bangalore and across the region, always keeping the focus on authenticity and aesthetic appeal.

Why My Namakarana Setup Stands Out

  • Storytelling Dolls (Gombe): My signature doll arrangements add a unique charm. I create scenes that tell the story of the ceremony, using handcrafted dolls with detailed clothing that fit the theme of your event perfectly.
  • Creative Name Reveals: I love experimenting with new ideas. One of my recent setups included a lotus-themed mechanism that opens to reveal the baby's name, adding a wonderful 'wow' moment for guests.
  • Traditional Cradle Decor: The cradle is the centerpiece of the ritual. I decorate it with high-quality fabric, fresh floral strings like jasmine (Mallige), and traditional ornaments to ensure it looks beautiful for your photographs and ceremonies.
  • Custom Plate Arrangements: My ‘Aarthi and Phala’ displays are not just fillers—they are carefully curated with fresh fruits, dry fruits, and decorated coconuts. I use either traditional brass stands or modern acrylic boxes, depending on your choice, to maintain hygiene and style.

My Approach

I believe that a Namakarana should feel personal. Whether you want a grand setup with a full floral backdrop or a simple, elegant display for a small home gathering, I tailor everything to your needs. I handle the transportation, on-site setup, and floral arrangements so you can focus entirely on the ceremony and your family. If you have a specific theme or a color palette in mind, let me know, and I will build the setup around it to make your event a cherished memory.
