Mrs. Vasulakshmi
Guest Contributor-Temples by the Dynasty

Greetings! My name is Vasulakshmi, a desi person living in Dubai with a tech-savvy, know-it-all husband and 16-year-old boy who finds humour in literally everything.

I thoroughly enjoy travelling, cooking, aesthetically decorating homes, exploring vibrant folk art, and indulging in soulful Carnatic music. You will also find me immersed in the corporate world as a dedicated workaholic! Above all else, an ardent devotee of Lord Balaji who I firmly believe is handholding and guiding me always in my life.
