ESTIMATESAbout Family & Cultural Ceremony Decoration
This is the work I love most. Traditional South Indian ceremony decor - banana leaf, marigold, tuberose, brass lamps. It's where I put my best energy, especially at the 25,000+ range.
What I Decorate
- Seemantham / Srimantham (Baby Shower): Banana leaf or Pichwai backdrops, tiered brass stands with fruits and sweets, ornate sofa for the mom-to-be, custom welcome boards with her name. Signature touch - banana-leaf wrapped jasmine bunches for female guests, displayed at a dedicated jasmine stall.
- Gruha Pravesh (Housewarming): Marigold and mango-leaf torans at the entrance, banana plants flanking the door, floral rangoli at the doorstep. Inside - pooja room deity decor, staircase draping, garlands across ceilings.
- Half-Saree (Langa Voni): Woven banana leaf walls (my signature for this), marigold and tuberose pedestals, pallaki (palanquin) on request.
- Naming / Thottil (Cradle): Wooden cradle with floral wrapping, crescent moon arches, Krishna-themed cutouts. Christian baptism also covered.
- Upanayanam, Pellikoduku, Satyanarayan pooja, Varamahalakshmi, Vinayaka Chaviti, Srinivasa Kalyanam, Sankranti, Chhath Puja: Each done with the right traditional motifs.

My Story
Hi, I'm Gayatri, the founder of Mahinava Events (since 2018). Events run in my family - my father was in this business before me, and I've carried that legacy into my own work. Born and raised in Bangalore, I'm that person who loves a stylish party but will still drag my husband for a temple date. 'Temple date ki veldamaa?' is my go-to. I do all kinds of decor, but my real love is floral and traditional ceremonies - Seemantham, Gruha Pravesh, Satyanarayan pooja. That's where I put my best work.
