Stories of Empowerment

  • Empowering Lady Artisans

    Pooja Karmakar-Dhokra Artisan
    In a small sleepy tribal village of Burdman, Bengal, Pooja Karmakar, a skilled Dhokra artisan has transformed her life and craft. Once limited to selling at the local market, Pooja now creates exquisite, handcrafted jewellery that reaches customers globally, both online and offline. She is not just earning better and educating her children but also mentoring other young women in her village.
    “Earlier, I only knew how to make. Now, I also know how to value my work, and myself.” - Pooja Karmakar
    Her story is a reminder that when tradition is honored and supported, it creates joy beyond one artisan.

  • Empowering the Visually impaired

    The visually impaired artisans of the Blind Relief Association
    Empowerment in Every Candle - At the Blind Relief Association, something beautiful is taking shape- crafted not by sight but by skill, scent and soul. The artisans are hand-pouring fragrant soy candles that now travel the globe- lighting homes and creating joy.
    “I can’t see the candle, but I know its fragrance reaches far. That’s how I know my work matters.”
    Through workshops and market support, these artisans earn with dignity and create with pride-proving that ability shines brighter than disability.

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.
