"Your Name is Krishangi" is a travel comic about the artist's honeymoon in California in 2003, where they attended the Ratha Yatra festivals and were initiated by B. V. Tripurari Swami. Kaisa, now known as Krishangi Dasi, uses a very spare style -- generally one panel per page, occasionally two. The minimalist figures (she draws herself as a sort of Mickey Mouse-esque figure and her husband sort of looks like Donald Duck) and the sometimes expansive text will remind readers of artists like Maaike Hartjes, while the general sensation of awe, wonder, dry wit, and humility is akin to the work of James Kochalka.
