Beyond the ritual pieces, we take commissions for the whole wedding: backdrops, alpana, kurtas and portraits.
We film every new piece before it leaves Patuli. Follow along for new designs each wedding season.
See the pieces in person, pick colours and talk through custom work. Please call or message before you come.
