We create authentic, vibrant settings for your traditional functions. Using fresh marigolds, banana leaves, and thoughtful floral design, we bring the right vibe to your Haldi, Mehendi, or Seemantha.
A stunning stage for a traditional baby shower, or Seemantha. The backdrop features intricate panels of yellow and white flowers with a central silhouette of a mother and child, creating a meaningful and beautiful setting.
For a truly traditional feel, we created this baby shower stage using a backdrop of fresh banana leaves accented with garlands of chendu hoovu (marigolds). It's a simple, natural, and elegant look.
This outdoor Haldi ceremony setup is perfect for a garden or lawn event. The simple wooden frame is decorated with hanging strings of bright yellow marigolds, creating a beautiful and auspicious space for the ritual.
A vibrant backdrop for a Haldi or Mehendi ceremony, featuring a chequered pattern of orange and yellow marigolds. We've added a traditional white throne to complete the seating arrangement for the main ceremony.
Here is the marigold chequered backdrop on its own. This versatile design serves as a fantastic photo wall for guests before the main seating is arranged, adding a splash of color to your event space.
This is a complete Seemantha decor package. It includes a beautiful floral backdrop with hanging yellow flower strings and a full display of our intricately decorated traditional plates (aarathi thatte).

About this collection
For these ceremonies, fresh greenery is non-negotiable. We use real banana leaves and fresh marigolds because they provide that specific, earthy fragrance and vibrant texture that plastic alternatives just cannot replicate. Since these elements are perishable, we time our setup precisely with your event schedule. This ensures the decor looks fresh and lively for the exact duration of your ritual, without wilting before you even start.
When planning a traditional function like a Seemantha or Haldi, the decor serves as the backdrop to the ritual itself. We focus on elements that feel authentic to these ceremonies.
Why We Prioritize Fresh Elements
We lean heavily on organic materials. Banana leaf backdrops combined with strings of chendu hoovu (marigold) are popular because they feel grounded and traditional. We arrange these in patterns like checkerboards or simple stripes to maintain a clean, classic look. We avoid over-styling, preferring to let the natural colors of the flowers do the work.
Handling the Details
- Seating: For your rituals, we provide seating options ranging from traditional bolsters and floor cushions to elevated sofas, depending on your comfort needs and the venue space.
- Ritual Specifics: If you need space for aarathi thatte (decorated plates) or specific deity imagery, we factor that into the backdrop dimensions. We ensure the layout accommodates the priest, the family members, and the ritual items.
- Lighting: We use halogen wash lights to highlight the floral textures, particularly for evening functions or indoor ceremonies where natural light is limited.
We work with both compact indoor spaces and larger halls across Bangalore. Whether you have a specific reference image or just a vague idea about wanting a 'traditional look,' we can adapt the scale of the setup to fit your budget. Our goal is to arrive, set up the structure, dress the stage, and leave you with a space that is ready for your family ceremony.
