Vasati- Add life to your space

"A living space reflects the journey of those who use it. This journey brings with it objets d'art, paintings, sculptures and memories. Vasati brings such pieces of art to you to enliven your space. Derived from the Sanskrit Verse (shloka), कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मि (Karagre Vasati Laxmi), Vasati means life or one's space of living. An art piece is an expression in itself. It speaks of the artist, the curator and the life it adds to the space it is in. In India, ancient mythology and diverse rulers of the past from far-away lands have had a great influence on the evolution of art. Vasati is a platform that has art representing the length and breadth of India. Intricate miniature paintings of Northern India, Tanjores from Southern India and Pattachitras from the Western Indian confluence sit among Indian sculptures and handcrafted furniture at Vasati. Explore Vasati to find your connect to art and add life to your space. "
