Kashmir ARTISANS are the protagonists of amazing walnut wood craft, which has left its stamp far and wide across the global spectrum.
We will take it to dizzier heights.

The Un'Kani' Algorithm!
There is no doubt that hand-spun hand-woven Kashmiri Kani Shawl is the best fabric one can drape over the shoulders. PERIOD.

Perfect inter-craft collab!
The pure magic of Kashmiri papier-mâché dancing across a Khatamband ceiling.

The new GI Testing Lab at Quality Control wing of Handicrafts and Handloom Dept for 08 new GI registered crafts is a shot in the arm for countering the challenge posed by cheap imitations and fake products sold in the name of genuine handmade Kashmir crafts.

On a FROSTY December day, while we sit inside hamaams, wearing -25 degree jackets outside, a sister with fingers numb is weaving #wagguv rugs, thread-by-thread. She dreams of a better winter for kids.
Let us buy from her and make her hard work pay. Also revive a GI craft.

We often celebrate the stunning ‘naqashi’ (painting) of Kashmiri papier-mâché, but ignore ‘𝗦𝗔𝗞𝗛𝗧𝗔’, which
is the meticulous making of the base, soaking paper, beating it into pulp, layering, moulding, drying, coating & sanding until mirror-smooth.
Without flawless sakhta, even the finest naqashi cracks or fades.
