Heading out to the temple in one of my #Gadwal saris! I shelved this sari for nearly six years since I bought it thinking I made a mistake with the color but the bright yellow cotton paired with a lovely deep maroon and green silk border with silver gold zari is now one of my favorites! The #hemp #jumkas I'm wearing are about 33 years old since my #dancing days!!! #saris #yellow #silk #jewelry #dance#indianfashion

We're doing the "hygge" everyday at least during tea time. And when is tea time? Pretty much every time we all get together!! Do you hygge? #hygge #teatime #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #danish #figs #crakers #sesame

Happy Labor Day Weekend! This is an outfit I put together for my nephew's wedding in #California last Friday.

All dressed up last week for my niece's wedding in New Jersey!! Loved dressing up these past three months in beautiful Indian saris and jewels I've collected over the years and I think I'm going to try and wear them as often as I can from now on. Thanks to the jump start with three family weddings in a row!! Besides they are too beautiful to be stored away!! This one is a peacock color Kanjeevaram silk sari with silver gold zari lines all over and is from the late 1980s. It does not have the traditional double sided border instead it has an extra long "Pallu" fully decorated in silver gold zari on a contrasting deep red silk. @rajirmdesign #kanjeevaram #kanjeevaramsaree #silksaree #indianfashion #indianwedding #jewelry

A stately room made more human (and Modern) with multiple seating at our client's home. A bespoke rug, custom and vintage furnishings and of course art tamed this rather cavernous room and gave it the much needed character! #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #rajirmmurals #rajirmrugs #bespokerugs #artdeco #color #interiordesign 📷 by @rikkisnyder

A #kitchendesign we recently completed for a client - white oak chevron floors, classic beadboard cabinetry, open shelving make this a perfect kitchen for the young family!! #rajirmdesign @rajirmdesign #kitchen #interiordesign 📷by @rikkisnyder

Thanks to M we saw one of the most beautiful and oldest temples in India - Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple at the foot of Nandi Hills near Bangalore - built in the 9th Century AD by Nolamba dynasty and continued to be improvised and maintained right up to Tipu Sultan, the temple was built entirely by hand carved stone. It is one of the finest and oldest examples of true Dravidian architecture and design!! #india #incredibleindia #temple #dravidianarchitecture
