About us
Creating Joy is a social enterprise with the mission of providing a platform for the differently privileged to upskill and upscale sustainably. We utilize their products to craft beautiful and unique gifting solutions for our clients.
Gifting for a Cause
Some of the communities we support include:
- The Visually Impaired Community
- The Malakar Community
- The Dhokra Community
- The Toda Community
Candles and Diyas
The candles crafted by the visually impaired community exemplify the beauty found in imperfection. Each Diya/Candle is infused with love and care, carrying immense joy within.
By choosing to gift these candles, you actively support the undaunted, resilient spirit of these brave artisans, bringing cheer to their lives.
Toda Products Accessories
The Todas, a pastoral tribe residing in the Nilgiris, are renowned for their distinctive embroidery featuring red and black threads on a white background. This unique embroidery was granted the GI status in 2013. When you choose to gift Toda products, you pay homage to the timeless Toda tradition and passion that infuses the soul of the Nilgiris, contributing to the preservation of this heritage art.
Dhokra Products
The Dhokra art form, with a history of approximately 4000 years, is a significant heritage from the Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro civilizations. Crafted by the Dhokra Damar community, particularly the Karmakars, this art employs traditional wax casting techniques to create exquisite brass artifacts. Gifted pieces of Dhokra Art contribute to the preservation of the community's craft, encapsulating stories of heritage and resilience. The art reflects emotions transformed into timeless pieces, resonating with the cultural heartbeat that flows through the skilled hands of artisans.
Sholapith Craft Items
The Malakar community is engaged in Shola craft. Malakars use the white pulp of the stem of shola plant which is grown in the marshy lands of Bengal. They invest long hours to carve out details and engrave exotic designs on sholapith with hand operated simple tools.
When you gift a sholapith you help this community, fighting a daily battle to survive. You also help preserve a divine art form which is believed to be the progeny of Lord Vishwakarma.
