The Devanagri alphabet is closely linked with the ancient Sanskrit language. In fact, it is the script used for a host of South Asian languages and is structurally related to many other Indian, Central Asian and Southeast Asian scripts. In both traditional forms and contemporary expression, these scripts provide a strong base for artistic expression. Calligraphy commissions are welcomed for a wide range of uses, from body art to marriage certificates. To learn more, CLICK HERE |
