Wedding Gifts

Add an image to get started

Shop hand-painted wedding gifts and bridal décor online, spanning Cheriyal, Kerala Mural, Pichwai, Rajput and Tanjore painting. Cheriyal wall plates depict scenes from mythological and royal Indian weddings — swing ceremonies, processions, courtly unions — while the Kerala Mural trousseau box takes its name and design from Parvathy Chamayam, the traditional bridal adornment ritual, making it as much a keepsake as a jewellery box. Raja Rani frames and a matching key holder carry the king-and-queen motif that's long symbolised marital harmony in Indian art, and the collection includes the deities most commonly invoked at a wedding — Ganesha, for a smooth beginning, and Mahalakshmi, for prosperity in the new household. Horse and elephant sculptures, evocative of a traditional wedding procession, round out the range — considered gifts for a wedding, a trousseau, or an NRI couple setting up a home abroad.

A wedding gift deserves more thought than "something nice for a couple." This collection is curated around a real throughline: several pieces here reference actual marriage mythology and tradition from across India, not generic festive decor repurposed for the occasion. Once you know what each piece is drawing on, the choice becomes a lot more specific — and a lot more meaningful — than picking whatever looks good.

Vivah Jhula — The Wedding Swing, Rendered Permanent

"Vivah" means marriage; "jhula" means swing. The Vivah Jhula wall plate references a real pre-wedding ceremony practised in several Indian wedding traditions, where the bride and groom sit together on a decorated swing as part of the celebration. It's a genuinely specific piece of wedding iconography, not a generic decorative swing motif.

Sita Swayamvar and Andal — Two Real Marriage Stories

Sita Swayamvar depicts the bow-breaking contest from the Ramayana through which Rama won Sita's hand — a wedding story at its core, not just a mythological scene that happens to be popular. The Tanjore-style Krishna-and-Andal mirror frame carries a different marriage story entirely: Andal, Tamil Nadu's only female Alvar and one of the twelve great Vaishnavite poet-saints, is celebrated for the devotional legend of her mystical marriage to Lord Ranganatha, a form of Vishnu, at Srirangam. Both pieces give a wedding gift real narrative weight rather than generic devotional imagery.

Parvathy Chamayam — A Trousseau Box Named for a Bride's Own Preparation

Worth understanding specifically: "Parvathy Chamayam" is a genuine Kerala Mural painting theme meaning "the bridal adornment of Goddess Parvathi" — the mural tradition depicts Parvati being dressed and adorned by attendants in preparation for her wedding to Shiva, complete with the ceremonial parasol (aalvattam) and peacock-feather fan (venchamaram) associated with that scene. Naming a jewellery trousseau box after that exact theme is a considered, specific choice, not a generic label attached to a jewellery box.

Raja Rani — The Couple, in Two Formats

Raja Rani, literally "king and queen," is a traditional visual pairing for a married couple, appearing here as both a wall frame set and a key holder. It's this collection's most direct visual shorthand for "the two of you" — a straightforward, versatile choice when a gift needs to represent the couple specifically rather than reference a mythological story.

Choosing Where to Start

If you want a gift with a real story behind it, Vivah Jhula, Sita Swayamvar, or the Andal-Krishna frame each carry genuine marriage mythology. If the gift is specifically for the bride, the Parvathy Chamayam Trousseau Box is a considered, name-and-theme-matched choice. If you want something that simply and directly represents the couple, Raja Rani is this collection's clearest option.
