all 9 samples — three readings, three styles ↓
A shloka is a metrical verse, and a poster of one is a typographic object: the transliterated line, its translation, its source. These nine set three verses learned by heart in Indian households, on three grounds — lotus geometry, block-print border, and plain rule work.
- a living room or study wall print
- a gift for a new home
- a classroom or cultural studies handout
- a puja room or entryway accent
- a framed gift print
Frequently asked questions
- What size do these print at?
- Each poster is drawn at standard A3 wall-art proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
- Can I get a different shloka?
- Yes — the direction field takes any shloka, and the same three grounds render it.
- What's the difference between the three grounds?
- Lotus geometry uses compass-drawn floral pattern, block-print border uses a traditional printed-fabric-style edge, and plain rule work keeps the type alone on a clean field.
- Is the transliteration and translation accurate?
- Yes — the transliterated line, its translation, and its source are all transcribed exactly, not approximated.
About toile
This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
