A man called Shreyas. Dressed in a hand tied pancha kacche style dhoti at the Vimor exhibit at the BIC. For Indians, walking through the exhibit was like being enveloped in a mother’s hug.

I have no idea what this giant leaf is. Found it on top of a car. In my neighborhood. It is larger than a teak leaf. The Buddha is surrounded by fragrant jaathi malli. Jasminum grandiflorum that I am going to take and put in my hair. The other flowers are champaka (sampige), Davanam string. Don’t know the names of the two yellow flowers that I also found on my walk through the neighborhood. . . . . . . . . #flowers #flower #flowerstagram #floral #floraldesign #floralarrangements #flowerarrangements #flowerphotography #flower_daily #sacredgeometry #space #flower #floraldesign #floralarrangement #flowerpower #flowerpots #indiandesign #decor #decorationideas #decoration #flowerdecor #flowerdeco #flowerdecoration #flowerdecorations #floralart #indiandecor #designfloral #decoratingonabudget #interiordesign #sacred #buddha #altar
