Siri is the best painting institute I have attended. Swamy Sir and Siri Madam make the most patient and respectful teachers. They are truly the best in teaching techniques , tips and tricks. I made this Tanjore painting with no experience in painting or this art form. It has been a wonderful experience interacting and learning from both of these distinguished artists and their wonderful team here in Hyderabad. As I leave for my home in the USA, I carry not only this very precious piece of art but unforgettable memories and learning. Their institute s are equipped, clean and out of this world. Highly recommend this unique institution to one and all.
