A Tibetian Buddist Temple

The large golden Buddha statue’s, the rich gold and the vibrant decor can have a huge impact on human psyche, aesthetically and  Spiritually. I have already expressed my obsession with Buddha in my previous postings.

A quite hidden corner in my den…..

My fascination toward Buddha is increasing day after day. So much so that i have even started digging up books on his teaching. What i admire the most about a Buddha painting or an idol is the calm look on his face. I started my Buddha collection with a brass Buddha head and an idol. Recently i picked up 3 small paintings of Buddha faces, one of

Oye Shaava !!!!

Oye Shaava is a restaurant in Bangalore that serves exquisite North Indian food. Its rich and vibrant decor is a must see. Here is a small tour of the restaurant. I completely fell in love with their beaded curtains. What makes this decor different from the other is of course the clever use of the beaded curtain and the large pattern painter on the
