Chitra Santhe is a one-day art festival organised by Chitrakala Parishad, where 1700 artists from all over India come together to showcase their work on the side pavements of Kumara Krupa Road in Bangalore.
It was a feast to the eye with artists showcasing various styles and forms of art. Here are some photographs that I clicked while we slowly walked the length of the road drinking in the beauty of a sunny morning and some hot chai;-)

She describes her home as contemporary but also individualistic. Modern lines but with a sense of warmth and comfort. 
Her philosophy, that truly reflects in her home, is that one need not spend loads of money to buy paintings by famous artists to make one's home beautiful. Being creative and inventive is the key. 
This simple paisley design artwork has been handmade by Shalini.
A close-up of the paisley design.
Mr & Mrs. as she calls them were picked up from a garage sale in Kansas City.
A cotton durrie hangs on the wall was a gift from her mother-in-law.
This bedroom corner has simple elements of nature. A set of four framed leaves picked up during her morning walks. The delicate leaf pattern on the table lamp goes really well with the frames.
This photograph in the silver frame is of Shalini's maternal grandmother. * So beautiful*
Books form an intergral part of Shalini's home space. Another very important thing in her home is nature's treasures brought back from morning walks:-)
Delicate Neem flowers, Frangipani or even few stems of fresh neem leaves add that extra cheer to her space.
"My home is a place where you can put your feet up, curl up on the couch and simply feel at ease." says Shalini.
Bright pink pooja plate in her temple.
Sitting area with sofa covered with brightly coloured textiles. ( She descibes the colours as Kitschy Indian Bazaar)
Popat green wall is a perfect backdrop for these antique casts. 
Coffee table with books & treasures picked up during various travels.
Hand painted Ganesha jacket cupboard.
Megha continues, " There is a lot of wooden furniture and especially European ones bought in flea markets and restored by me."
Kitchen shelf with books, vases and her grand collection of mugs. *Sigh*
Megha's ancestral kitchenware and mesh egg holder, now a cookie holder displayed against a green wall.
Her room is painted in two colours inspired by Indian village homes and here you see some of her handbags displayed on hooks.
These frames were picked up from Rajasthan in India. *Love that peacock feather*
This is Megha's workspace. Her latest works and inspirations hang on this gorgeous yellow wall. 
Last but not the least, this Ikea cast in her children's room has been hand painted by Megha!
I have open shelves in many rooms, it breaks the monotony and creates space for adding interesting elements.
I love open shelves in the kitchen. Yes, the little black board has found it's place in the new kitchen too:-)
A quiet corner with morning light filtering through the coloured patterned glass windows.
Let your creativity flow, write down happy notes;-)
Don't have a brass vase, no worry go ahead and use empty glass jars...
...or empty wine/beer bottles. The brand lettering adds to the beauty. 
Add some whimsical touches, ceramic ducks picked up from a local fair...
Don't have a florist nearby, no worries pick up some wildflowers from the roadside or some seasonal flowers from the trees:-)
