We blend traditional rituals with artistic, modern touches to create meaningful Oti and Shagun baskets for your wedding or baby shower.

"Oti cha paramprik va navya roop." We create Oti baskets for both the bride's side (Maher) and the groom's side (Sasar), each with its own unique and beautiful decorations.

About Oti & Shagun Blessing Baskets

When you order an Oti basket, we don't just pack fruits; we customize the decor to match your specific ceremony theme and family traditions. Whether you need a subtle, elegant look for a Dohale Jevan (baby shower) or something vibrant for a wedding engagement, we hand-paste each Kundan motif and align the color palette to your outfit or event vibe. You can share your reference photos or theme colors, and we will ensure the coconut, fruits, and tray arrangement look perfect for your photos.

Honouring Traditions, Your Way

The Oti bharani ceremony is a beautiful symbol of abundance and prosperity, and we believe it deserves a presentation that feels both respectful and visually stunning. We specialize in two distinct styles:

  • Paramprik (Traditional): For those who want to keep it classic, we use rich velvet textures, deep colors, and traditional motifs that feel timeless.
  • Navya Roopat (New Look): If you prefer a modern aesthetic, we incorporate acrylic elements, gold mirror-work, and trendy floral or pearl accents that bridge the gap between old rituals and contemporary celebrations.

What Goes Inside

Every basket we create is a piece of art. We focus on the details that make the difference:

  • Decorated Coconuts: We hand-paint and embellish coconuts with stone work, lotus motifs, or Swastik designs, ensuring they become a centerpiece of the gift.
  • Embellished Fruits: Each fruit, from apples to pomegranates, is individually adorned with jewel stickers or stone bindis, turning simple offerings into a festive display.
  • Ritual Essentials: We include beautifully packed containers for Haldi-Kumkum and grains, so everything is ready for the ceremony.

Serving Your Celebrations

Whether it is the intimate Chor Oti ceremony during the third month of pregnancy or a grand wedding trousseau setup, we are here to handle the presentation. We work with clients across Mumbai and Pune, and can even assist with setups further afield. Since we are sisters who grew up valuing these rituals, we treat every basket as if it were for our own family. Tell us about your culture, your family traditions, and the specific vibe you want for your event, and we will style it to match.
