## About Custom Festival Art & Installations

### Why I Do This

Art is my peace and my way of connecting with faith. I honestly just focus on creating, and jaise bolte hai, baaki sab uparwala dekhta hai (the rest is in God’s hands). My roots and culture show up in every piece, whether it’s a huge pandal or a small home setup.

### What I Offer

- Hand-painted festival backdrops, especially for Ganpati, using traditional manjarpat cloth. These aren’t just backgrounds, they’re full scenes that set the mood.
- Themed Ganpati decorations and Navratri installations. I love transforming spaces with 360-degree art on walls and ceilings, so your festival feels totally immersive.
- I work on custom concepts, from jungle scenes for Dattatreya Ganesh to historical moments like Shivaji Maharaj’s coronation, or even vibrant Aagri Koli themes for Navratri.

### How It Happens

- Everything is painted live, on-site, right before the festival. Sometimes it’s a mad rush, painting on ladders and scaffolding, but that’s part of the fun.
- I don’t do this alone. My team of artists, murtikars (idol makers), and decorators all pitch in. It’s always a group effort.

### What Matters to Me

Every project is personal. It’s not just paint, it’s my way of sharing stories and traditions I care about. I want your space to feel alive and full of energy during your festival.

### My story

Main Karishma. My life? Art, bas. Blank wall, white canvas, I see stories. Heart ka connection hai - jab Mahadev ya Ganpati banta hai brush se, lagta hai jaise bhakti bhi rang jaati hai. Mera Aagri Koli culture bhi har mural mein aa hi jaata hai, especially Ganpati ya Navratri ke time. Art se khushi milti hai, jab kisi ke chehre pe smile aati hai mere painting dekhke. Baaki sab uparwala dekhta hai.

### My work

- **Blank Walls to Stories**: Har wall ko art bana deti hoon - ghar, cafe, gym, ya street, sab jagah. Superheroes, crabs, ya peacocks, jo vibe chahiye.
- **Portraits with Emotions**: Acrylic canvas portraits, digital sketches, graphite pencil art - sab mein emotion pakadna zaruri hai. Realistic acrylic canvas portrait bhi karti hoon.
- **Faith & Culture in Art**: Mahadev, Swami Samarth, Shivaji Maharaj, traditional Pichwai painting, aur Aagri Koli culture - sab milta hai mere art mein.
- **Happy Client, Happy Me**: Agar client ko pasand nahi aaya, toh main phir se banaungi. Perfect hona chahiye, warna maza nahi.
