Bringing the spirit of Namma Kannada to life through intricate rangoli and spiritual portraits.

This piece is very close to my heart, a rangoli depiction of a Daiva from 'Kantara'. Created for a temple jatra in Karwar, this artwork shows the intricate detail and vibrant color I can achieve with rangoli powder, bringing cultural stories to life.

Here is a glimpse of my Yakshagana rangoli, displayed at the bustling Chitra Santhe art fair in Bengaluru. This piece celebrates the rich heritage of Karnataka's traditional theater, using bold colors and intricate details to honor our culture.

A rangoli artwork of Lord Ganesha, or Bappa, created for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad in Bangalore. The golden tones and intricate form on a black background make the deity stand out.

This photo shows me giving the final touches to my Lord Ganesha rangoli. Creating spiritual art like this is a meditative process, and I am honored to make these pieces for festivals and sacred occasions.

About Cultural & Spiritual Creations

When I work on these spiritual pieces, I use a specific mix of charcoal powder and white stone dust to get that high-contrast, realistic look. It takes patience to build the layers, but it makes the deities and cultural figures pop, especially under festival lighting.

Whether it is a Yakshagana figure or a depiction of Bappa for Ganesh Chaturthi, I believe art should tell a story. My process starts with understanding the space and the event—be it a temple jatra, a public art fair like Chitra Santhe, or a corporate cultural program. For these large-scale works, I often use the traditional Sanskar Bharti technique, but I love to push the boundaries with monochromatic charcoal detailing when the theme allows.

If you are planning an event in Bengaluru or anywhere in Karnataka, I can set up these installations live. Guests really enjoy watching the layers come together, from the base sketch to the final fine lines. These pieces are not just for looking; they are meant to capture the energy of the moment. I have done everything from film-inspired tributes like my Kantara rangoli to traditional deities, and I am always ready to discuss how we can bring your specific theme to life with color and texture.
