About Pooja & Festival Guidance
I’ve grown into Sanatana Dharma after my marriage, so I know what it feels like to want to do things the right way but not always know how. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to go deeper, I break down every ritual into sulabha vidhana (easy method).
Rituals, Festivals & Their Stories
I guide you step by step through pooja vidhana for most festivals and vrathas - no jargon, just practical help. I share the stories and reasons behind every habba (festival), so you don’t just follow, you understand. For example, I explain why we start Varamahalakshmi Vrata with the Yamuna Kalasha at the Tulasi plant or the meaning behind Bheemana Amavasya’s pada pooja.
DIY & Practical Tips
I’m big on making things yourself: I’ll show you how to make kumkuma, tasty naivedya, and even your own theertha (holy water) powder at home. Got silver pooja items? I have festival prep hacks with simple home ingredients for cleaning and decorating.
Yatra Guidance
Planning a yatra? I’ll help you with the right order of rituals in places like Kashi or Rameshwaram, so you don’t feel lost.
My approach is straightforward: keep it simple, keep it soulful, and always explain the why. Ashte simple (that's it, simple).

My Story
Namaskara, Vidya here. Born in Kodagu, I found my true calling after joining the Srinidhi kutumba—four generations deep in tradition and books. Sanatana Dharma, rituals, and devotion shape my every day. With my husband and son, I mix art and pooja, believing a bridal look is as sacred as any ritual. Sharing tips, stories, festival meanings—these are my joys. Discipline and peace, that’s what rituals give. I share what I live.
My Work
Bridal Makeup, Hairstyle & Saree Draping - I do natural bridal makeup, classic bun hairstyle, saree draping, and floral art for weddings.
Simple, Elegant Transformations - I focus on timeless looks—clean, royal, never overdone. Classic bun over messy, always.
Teaching & Sharing - I love sharing saree draping hacks, makeup tricks, and ritual methods. Knowledge is for everyone.
Travel for Clients - Based in Bangalore, but I travel wherever you need for your special day.
