Whether it’s a celestial sky for Ganpati or a traditional Aagri Koli scene for Navratri, I use professional-grade acrylics on manjarpat cloth or directly on walls to ensure the art looks sharp in your event photos. When I paint a backdrop, I'm not just covering a wall; I'm setting the stage for the deity. For Ganpati, I often create 360-degree environments, painting surrounding walls and ceilings to make your space feel like a forest, a temple, or a celestial night sky. ### My Process My work begins by understanding the vision behind your festival. I use high-contrast acrylics and professional spray-gun techniques to create depth that truly pops under festival lighting. For community pandals in Mumbai, I collaborate with a team of artists to handle large-scale, immersive murals on plywood or cloth, ensuring we meet tight timelines with quality finish. ### Customization & Materials * **Home Setups:** I provide rolled, hand-painted artwork on primed Manjarpat cloth (up to 6x4 ft), which is perfect for wall-pinning or taping behind your idol. These are light-varnished to handle humidity. * **Thematic Depth:** I enjoy blending history and faith, whether it’s recreating the Shivrajyabhishek Sohala or painting serene jungle themes inspired by Lord Dattatreya. * **Material Quality:** I focus on semi-realistic, high-contrast finishes designed to look vivid in photography. I don't just work in my studio. For larger community pandals, I come to your location to execute the work live. This ensures the mural blends perfectly with your specific structure and lighting. If you have a story, a memory, or a cultural connection—like my own Aagri Koli roots—I am here to help you bring that onto the canvas. ## About Karishma Joshi For me, painting isn't just work, it's bhakti. I love taking a blank wall and turning it into something that makes people smile during the festival season.
