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
