A family-only Annaprashan for 60 guests. The brief: gentle, white, the baby is the only headline.
The family wanted three rooms: a haldi morning, a mehendi afternoon, and a reception evening — all in the same courtyard.
Our job was to make each evening feel like its own film while keeping the architecture continuous.
We started with the light. Dawn for haldi, golden hour for mehendi, candle and chandelier for reception. The same courtyard, three temperatures.
“Three rooms, one architecture, three temperatures of light.”
Brass diya stands at 1.2m. Marigold strung in 6m runs. The mandap canopy in benarasi silk.
Every element was tested in the workshop two weeks ahead — nothing arrived on site untried.
The shehnai came in at 7:08. Family was seated by 7:25. The first turmeric was mixed at 8.
The room was lit to its final cue before the first guest arrived.
What we delivered: 14 hero photographs, 200 process photos, a 60-second film cut.
The album was bound in raw silk a fortnight after the last guest left.
