How Much Does Varmala Preservation Cost in India? A Complete Price Guide
Varmala preservation in India typically costs between ₹2,000 and ₹40,000, depending on the size of the frame, whether one or both partners' garlands are included, and whether you choose the standard service or the premium version that combines the varmala with your wedding card and other keepsakes. At The Art Galaxy, the standard service starts at ₹2,000 (Basic) and ₹12,000 (Premium), while Premium Varmala Preservation — which includes the wedding card combo — runs ₹15,000 to ₹40,000.
What decides the final price
Three things move the price within these ranges: the size of the finished frame, the complexity of the flower arrangement, and whether additional items — a wedding card, small mandap keepsakes, photographs — are included alongside the garland itself.
A single varmala set flat in a compact frame sits at the lower end. A large, detailed layout combining both partners' garlands with a wedding invitation and photographs sits at the upper end of the Premium Varmala Preservation range.
Basic vs Premium — what actually changes
Basic and Premium aren't about material quality — every piece uses the same genuine teak wood and crystal-clear epoxy resin regardless of price point. The difference is size, layout complexity, and how many items are combined into one piece.
If you're unsure which tier fits your garland, send photographs on WhatsApp before deciding — we'll recommend a size and give you an honest price rather than upselling you into the premium tier unnecessarily.
What's not included in the listed price
Courier charges are additional and are not included in any listed price, in either direction. If you're outside Jabalpur, budget separately for a trackable courier service to send your varmala to us and for us to send the finished piece back.
How this compares to other cities
Prices for varmala preservation vary across India depending on the studio's location, materials, and whether the work is genuinely handmade or partly outsourced. A Jabalpur-based studio working directly with the artist, as we do, often prices differently from a metro-city studio with higher overheads or a middleman coordinating between you and the actual craftsperson.
What matters more than comparing city to city is comparing what's actually included — ask any studio you're considering whether the frame is genuine teak wood, whether the resin is premium crystal-clear grade, and whether the same person quoting you is the person doing the work.
“Every flower in your varmala held a moment of joy — we make sure that moment never fades.”
Shilpa Amit Shrivastava, The Art GalaxyFrequently asked questions
Is the price negotiable?
The price is confirmed based on your item's actual size and complexity, not negotiated down from a fixed list — but it's also never inflated beyond what the piece genuinely requires.
Do I pay the full amount upfront?
No, an advance confirms the order and the balance is paid only after you've seen real photographs and video of the finished piece.
Does the price change if my varmala is very large?
Yes, unusually large or elaborate garlands may cost more than the standard range — we'll tell you honestly before starting if this applies to yours.
Can I get an exact quote before sending my varmala?
Yes, share photographs on WhatsApp first and we'll give you a price estimate before you need to send anything.
Is Premium Varmala Preservation worth the higher price?
It's worth it if you want your wedding card and other keepsakes combined into one complete display piece rather than several smaller ones — if you only want the garland preserved, the standard service is sufficient.
