About Decorated Ceremonial Crafts
Why I Craft
I’m Krithika Devi, the hands and heart behind Sukeerthi Plate Decors. For a decade now, I’ve been creating handcrafted ceremonial crafts that turn family events into memories. Everything I make comes from my own love for our traditions and a wish to bring nalla vibration (good vibes) to your celebrations.
What I Make
I specialize in South Indian craft decor for weddings, puberty ceremonies, baby showers, and more. My favourite is Marapachi Bommai - those traditional wedding dolls, but now in tiny sarees, dhotis, and with detailed jewellery. I don’t stop with the couple sets - I make custom Marapachi sets for unique ceremonies, and some are even for rent if you just need them for a day.
Decorated uppukudai (salt baskets) are another regular request - I dress the baskets to look like bride and groom, adding mirror work and fabrics. Other items? Umbrellas for Kasi Yatra, and sometimes small motifs for your own ritual plates.
Flexibility & Reach
You get to decide everything - theme, colours, budget, and any personalized ritual items you want. I’m in Coimbatore, but I deliver across Tamil Nadu and Bangalore, including places like Tiruppur, Erode, and Salem.
Some things might take time, and not every custom idea fits every budget, but if you want something truly made for your tradition, I’m here to help.

My Story
Vanakkam! I’m Krithika Devi, founder of Sukeerthi Plate Decors. Started off in Tiruppur, crafting handmade decor from home, now moved to Bangalore with my family. Ten years in, still loving every bit - from Coimbatore to Hosur, I get to add romba nalla vibration (very good energy) to weddings and other functions with my Marapachi dolls and art. Got ‘Best Plate Decor’ award in 2022, but honestly, seeing my work in someone’s big moment is the real reward.
