Namaste!
Hastha Kalalu is a digital platform for some of the world’s oldest and most intricate craft forms. We started this social enterprise close to 4 years ago in order to preserve, showcase and share the talent of India’s artisans with the world. We hope to be able to raise the dignity of the Indian artisan in our own way and kindle an interest and support for an unsurpassed legacy of craft that spans millennia and spreads across the length and breadth of the land. It is our effort to curate an undeniably unique selection of traditional art and craft translated into a range of beautiful, contemporary products.
India, the land of vividness and rich heritage are known for its incredible art form. Art and craft of the nation are as fascinating and grand as of its tradition. Somewhere people feel that the incredibility of art is not as glorified as it deserves. It is not that people in India are not passionate about creativity or art forms; rather, it can be claimed that these things are not explored strategically as it should have been.
They say, the true essence of Indian art lies in the diverse handicrafts that sprout from different parts of the country. We completely and whole-heartedly agree! At Hastha Kalalu, we believe in handpicking and curating the best of handicrafts from the roots of our country to your urban homes and celebrating Indian craftsmanship in the process.
It is ironic that the country with arguably the richest craft heritage has among the most deprived craftsmen. In this day and age, rural is slowly becoming urban; and the artisan offspring is digressing to newer professions in order to survive. We aim to promote this languishing art to increase an artisans’ production base and encourage them to continue their lineage of molding magic with their bare hands. We took the task of bringing the many contrasting realities of India’s craft fraternity to work together in the digital space.
So, if you’re on the lookout for something like handmade Indian artifacts for that are available for sale online, that stands out of the ordinary, we offer Indian artisans’ handcrafted, unique pieces that are designed for home decor and gifting is just what you need.
Feel free to reach us at support@hasthakalalustore.com. We will be happy to hear from you.
