I am a born again Rajasthani.
I must have been a Rajasthani in my laat birth. Hopefully royalty, with gold and silver and cotton chintz adorning me.
Thats why the bright colors and the super hot spices act like a balm on my soul.
Born and brought up and lived in various sectors of the country, I have zeroed in onto the shifting sands of Rajasthan. The smells and the colours of the earth make me happy.
So happy , that I have Rajasthan in all the corners of my house.
Ethenic and colorful, my house is full of the positivity of the desert.
The magnanimity, the spices and the heat of the desert cools my walls.
My house is full of the trinkets of the desert.
The terracotta figurines from Pokharan ,the marble inlay work from Udaipur, the Blue Pottery from Jaipur, the hand block printed textiles from Barmer ,the tooled camel leather stools from Jaisalmer and the glass lamps or Shamadans from Jodhpur, the durries from Salaser and more.
But women, they say are always ready to add to the repertoire.
I like to follow the dikats of stereotypes.
My first purchase will be at least a dozen of these red cushion covers for my living space. I love the warm overtones of the combination of red and gold.
Strewn on my camel leather Pouffès, the red will look jewel like.
These cushion covers will contrast my blue curios and cream curtains and red pendant lights.
At INR 191 these cushion covers are a great bargain. Check out the Gold foil cushion covers here.
To add richness to my decor ,this sterling silver electric lamp of 1.4 kg silver filigree work ,almost a foot tall would look positivity royal. I will place it on a high statuette table ,so that it retains place of pride in the living room.
On vacation in Udaipur, we checked out the Amar Mahal ,the largest museum housing silverware, including a silver leaf plated horse buggy. That work is called Patra work. This looks straight out of that museum.
All I'll need is a lock and key to secure my living room as this lamp is a wee bit heavy on the pocket at INR 1,06,773.
But considering the workmanship, it is worth the cost.
Almost like a crown ,this lamp is.
And last not least this Ashtavinayak Ganesha at a nominal cost of INR 972.
Ganesha is the first god to offer reverence to. He is ever where.
Eight figures of Lord Ganesha on my walls to protect my home my family.
The price may be inconsequential, but the faith is supreme.
Faith, that all will be well in my home and the lord will stand guard and protect my home and all those who live in it from malevolence and dangerous intents.
That is what makes a home blesses.
When it exudes good vibrations and a welcoming feeling to those who enter with good intent.
To make my home more special.
God bless my home and the homes of all those with a good heart.
