About

, as a website,
is a canvas to tell stories from the wonderful world of Indian Crafts. A peep into the creative,
imaginative, adept, traditional and laborious world of the artisans and the priceless heritage
they have gifted us.

attempt to look beyond the obvious to realize the true value of these timeless artifacts. To be able
to see the fine strokes, feel the intricate carvings, know the pain of crafting and appreciate the
bountiful creativity of the craftsman.

its bit in the craft revival initiatives that are tackling several issues threatening the continuity
and long term sustenance of these rich Indian traditions.

to visit craft stores, emporiums and exhibitions . We encourage 'window shopping'.
