The live doodle boothfor weddings, parties and events across India
You sit down, we chat a bit, and I draw you in ink while you watch. A couple of minutes later you’re walking around your own party holding a tiny version of yourself. Every single one is drawn by hand, right there, by me.

Two ways to get doodled
Bring the booth to your event, or send me a photo and get the very same doodle by post.
Book the doodle booth
I bring the booth, the pens and the cards. Your guests queue up, sit down and leave with their faces drawn. Weddings, birthdays, office days, launches.

The online doodle booth
Not at an event? Send me a photo, pick one of my booth frames, and I’ll draw you exactly the way I do at the booth. Then I post the card to your door.

Insert coin
Every guest gets a wooden sunflower token. It goes into the coin slot, I ring the bell, and we’re on.
Sit down, chat
You sit across from me and we talk about whatever. You don’t have to hold still. Just try not to sneeze.
The pen goes
Ink straight onto the card. No pencil, no undo. Your friends will crowd round and narrate every line.
READY!
The card comes out of the READY! window and it’s yours to keep. Most people photograph it before they’ve even stood up.
Made for your kind of day
A doodle booth for your wedding
Your guests will get photos, food and probably a return gift. The doodle is the one thing with their own face on it, made at your wedding, and those tend to live on fridges for years.
It works best at the mehendi, sangeet, cocktail night or reception, when people are hanging around between things. There’s always one uncle who says no, then comes back with the whole family. Want your names and the date on every card? That’s what custom cards are for.

Corporate events and brand activations
A queue at your stall is the best advert you can get. People will happily wait ten minutes for a drawing of themselves, which they will not do for a keychain. I’ve brought the booth to events for Deloitte, Plum, Brady and NEXT, 11+ brands so far.
I can put your logo, event name or campaign line on the cards, so every doodle walks out of the venue with your brand on it. Good for offsites, team days, Diwali parties, store launches, expos and conferences.

Birthdays, baby showers and house parties
Smaller parties are some of my favourites, because I get to draw everyone. The grandparents, the birthday kid, the friend who turned up late, the dog.
Kids are lovely to draw and terrible at sitting still, which is fine, I’m quick. First birthdays, 30ths, 60ths, anniversaries, housewarmings and reunions all work.

Flea markets, college fests and pop-ups
You’ll find the booth at markets and pop-ups around Bengaluru, with the yellow gingham and a queue. If your event has people wandering about with time to kill, the booth fits right in.
College fests, cafés, community days, school carnivals, art markets. Organisers, message me and we’ll work out a setup that suits your crowd.

Every event gets its own card
Your names, the date and a little line of your own on every card, so the doodles remember exactly where they came from. “When Chai met Jo” for a wedding, “At Jaanya’s 3rd birthday blast”, “Eliana’s first birthday”.
Rs. 500 for the first 50 cards, then Rs. 300 for every 50 after.

Doodle booth, caricature artist, photo booth or live painter?
They’re all fun at a wedding or event. Here’s how they’re actually different.
| Doodle booth ✿ | Caricature artist | Photo booth | Live wedding painter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guests take home | A small hand-drawn ink card of themselves | A drawn portrait with exaggerated features | A printed photo strip | Nothing, the couple keeps one big painting |
| Style | Cute, kind, chibi style | Big noses, big laughs | Photos with props | A painted scene of the day |
| Time per guest | 2 to 3 minutes | A few minutes | Under a minute | One painting across the event |
| The feeling | A little chat, everyone crowds round to watch | Teasing your friends | Quick and silly | Slow and beautiful |
| Best for | Guests who should feel seen, and a happy queue | Roast-loving crowds | Very large crowds, fast | The couple’s own keepsake |
Honestly? If you have 800 guests and two hours, a photo booth gets through more people. If you want every guest to have a little moment of their own, get the doodle booth.

Hi, I’m Baasi
I’m an artist in Bengaluru. I paint watercolours of the city, make prints and postcards, run a little mail club, and on weekends I sit inside a booth and draw strangers.
I was always the one with a sketchbook, drawing whoever was nearby. Then I noticed people liked watching the drawing happen even more than getting it. So I built a booth around that moment: a sign, a curtain window, a coin slot, a bell, and a READY! window for the card to come out of.
baasi ✿Based in Bengaluru, happy to travel across India
Most of my events are in and around Bengaluru. For weddings and events in Mysuru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Goa, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi or anywhere else in India, the booth comes with me. Tell me the city and the date, and I’ll sort out the travel with you.

Questions people ask me
What is a doodle booth?
A doodle booth is a live drawing station for events. Guests sit down on their own or in pairs, and I draw them in ink on a small card while they watch. They take the card home. Think photo booth, but drawn by a person.
How long does each doodle take?
About 2 to 3 minutes a face in black and white, so roughly 20 to 30 faces an hour. A couple on one card takes a little longer.
How many guests can you draw at a wedding?
It depends on how many hours you book. Three hours is about 60 to 90 faces, five hours about 100 to 150. For a big guest list, book longer or ask me about a bigger setup.
How much does a doodle booth cost in Bengaluru?
Rs. 4,200 an hour, with a 3-hour minimum. Travel is free within 10 km of Banaswadi and a flat Rs. 1,000 elsewhere in the city. Custom cards are extra.
Do you travel outside Bengaluru?
Yes, anywhere in India. Outside Bengaluru it’s Rs. 4,500 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, plus travel and stay for your city.
Have you done corporate and brand events?
Yes. I’ve doodled at events for Deloitte, Plum, Brady and NEXT, 11+ brands in all, and 44+ events overall. The cards can carry your logo, event name or campaign line.
Is it AI, or printed?
Neither. Every doodle is drawn by hand, in ink, in front of the guest. There’s no printer at the booth.
Is a doodle the same as a caricature?
They’re close cousins. Caricatures usually exaggerate features for laughs. My doodles are chibi style: small, cute and kind. Nobody leaves upset about their nose.
Can you draw couples, kids, families and pets?
Yes to all of it. Couples and small groups can share one card, and pets are honestly the best part of my day.
Can the cards have our names, date or logo?
Yes. Custom cards are Rs. 500 for the first 50 and Rs. 300 for every 50 after that. Names, a date, a hashtag, a logo or a campaign line all work.
What do you need at the venue?
One table, three chairs, shade or a roof and decent light. I bring the booth, pens and cards.
How early should I book?
As soon as you have a date, because weekends in wedding season go first. I need at least 3 days’ notice.
Can I get doodled without an event?
Yes. With the online doodle booth you send a photo, pick a frame, and I post the card to you anywhere in India. It starts at Rs. 180. Try the online doodle booth.
How do I book the doodle booth?
Open the booking page, answer a few questions about your event and send the request. I reply within 24 hours to confirm the date and the final quote. Book the doodle booth.
