Wow, how cool.. go to Cost Plus, they have those hanging colored glass candle holders that you can hang in groups... and they are reasonable priced.. Also, do you have a strip of wall in the room that is narrow, now this might sound crazy, but you could do that little portion in gold either the metalic or antique and then put a small table stand next to it with either the Elephant or some type of HIndu statue kinda like a shrine. OR just add colorful candles and or other Indian artwork (which you can also get at Cost Plus)
Do you have places that sell Saris? we do in the bay area.. and they also sell material.. that material looks so pretty and a curtain... when the sunshine is shining thru it, it's so gorgeous..
Cost Plus also has those little octagon tables and although always indian, sometimes they are from Morocco .. but are still just as pretty..
don't forget all the colorful pillows you can purchase. those really set the room up..
sounds like fun! enjoy yourself
