Buy Painting "Tradition" By Raksha Seetharam

A scene from everyday life, commuting in public transport where I see women adorning their hair with flowers, a practice that is common in South India. Sometimes it’s small roses, chrysanthemum, jasmine garland, or marigold. They look beautiful and well paired with the gold ear ornaments. Hallmark of Indian women, particularly in the south. You see it everyday.

Whether women go to work, or stay at home, they wear flowers in their hair and it’s a fading practice as the newer generation are to modernized to continue it.

These women take pride in traditions and presenting themselves well.
