The South Indian couple - A customized Art-work

Learning traditions is something I enjoy the most.

Being a Gujarati I am still don't know many of the tradition, so its something makes me curious and I always find a grate interest learning them.

I was asked to make a portrait for my South Indian client. In-fact I loved her idea.

Krithika wanted to surprise her husband on their anniversary... It was their wedding day picture.

We discussed for few days and then she send her few wedding pictures, and explained me some of the traditions and rituals.. I would say I might not be able to make it without her help.
