In Bangalore, my friend took me to this wonderful shop for Kalamkari work, called Dwaraka. I suppose she knew I would start drooling at the mouth on entering the shop! I picked up a couple of lovely things, including a Kalamkari wallet (mine was way overdue for replacement), some cushion covers and this lovely Toran, which now hangs in my kitchen doorway. Isn't it beautiful?
Check out this Pochampalli Diwan set which I simply could not resist picking up in Hyderabad, at Shilparamam. Yes I am a sucker for all things Indian, hand-made and hand-crafted, especially if they brighten up my house and perk me up every time I lay eyes on them!
Lovely pictures. Love Dwaraka, we have something similar from there.
ReplyDeleteHad this pochampalli dupatta when I was younger - it was so good that people stole it. Yeah, at a friend's house - can you believe it? Am still searching for one like that! Hyderabad, here I come!
Hey Aparna, It's nice to hear about something in Bangalore I didn't know about - their stuff looks amazing. Seems very far away from where I stay but will remember :).
ReplyDeleteI like them! I am new to your blog, so I don't have much to say yet.
ReplyDeleteSangitha: Really??? That's really sad. I haven't seen these things when I was at Dilli haat so maybe you do need to plan a trip to Hyd :)
ReplyDeleteAparna: Their store is really nice. I was lusting over the mirrors but they only had a couple in stock the day I visited.
