About Rooted in Tradition: Cultural Arts
When you make your own Kumkum at home using just turmeric, lemon, and natural ingredients, you aren't just following a ritual—you're connecting with something pure. In these sessions, I show you how to source ingredients from your local granthige (herb) shop and mix them properly, so your daily pooja feels truly yours, not just a store-bought routine.
Our traditions are filled with wisdom that often gets lost in the rush of modern life. In my 'Rooted in Tradition' sessions, we slow down to explore the why and how behind the customs we often take for granted.
Shodasha Shringaras & Rituals We dive into the 16 adornments—the Shodasha Shringaras. It is not just about looking good; it is about the intention behind the saree, the jewelry, and the flowers. I walk you through the proper way to prepare, ensuring you understand the cultural significance of every step.
Floral Artistry Beyond rituals, I teach the art of floral decoration. Whether it is crafting a fresh lotus garland or a delicate rose Vani for festive hair, these skills allow you to create beautiful, sustainable accessories at home. We focus on techniques like wiring and stitching that keep flowers fresh for hours.
