Chitra natives have an unerring eye and an unmissable presence. They dress, speak and create with flair, and they engineer as well as they decorate. The shadow is glamour without substance and an ego that needs the spotlight.
Architecture and engineering, design and fashion, photography and film, jewellery, branding — every field where beauty is built.
Chitra wants a partner it can admire and be admired by. Keep the relationship visually and mentally alive, and its passion endures.
