Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindu language film industry based in Mumbai, Maharashtra India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centres of film production in the world.

The well known Golden Temple in Amritsar in the Punjab is the inspiration for this arresting design of beautiful yellow roses, yellow zantedeschia and gilded palm fronds in Vanita’s flowing design staged on a vertical frame.

The Golden Temple is the oldest shrine in Sikhism and unlike many historical sacred sites, it is fully alive with religious fervour and sacredness and visitors are welcome to join in the experience. ]]> Administrator photo Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:41:09 +1200 http://fasnz.org.nz/gallery/v/national-conference/2010/exam-unit/vanita-patel/vanita1.jpg.html http://fasnz.org.nz/gallery/v/national-conference/2010/exam-unit/vanita-patel/vanita1.jpg.html
The pinned pink sisal with the accent of phalaenopsis orchids in this attractive design echoes the reddish pink building made of red sandstone walls and the multitude of delicately honeycombed windows on the front facade of the famous 'Palace of the Winds' in Jaipur, capital city of Rajasthan.]]> Administrator photo Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:41:09 +1200
