Srinivasan has curated art exhibitions for
Singapore's National Museum and has served as

a two-dimensional relief painting that uses
gold leaf and inlay of semiprecious stones.
Golden Link is an exhibition that
explores the principles, methodology, and
artistry of this sacred art that spans more
than a thousand years.
