Karigaar brings you home décor, crockery, paintings and textiles bought directly from the karigars who made them — no factory middle step, no anonymous "artisan collection." Just their name, their city, their craft.
Our sourcing team travels to the karigar's town, sees the craft made in person, and agrees a fair, published price — no middlemen renegotiating it down later.
Because handmade means no two pieces are identical, each item is inspected individually before listing, and small natural variation is described honestly, not hidden.
Your order arrives with a provenance card naming the karigar, their craft, and their town — so the piece keeps its story once it's on your shelf.
"My mother painted these same fish on our courtyard wall before every wedding. Now I paint them on paper, and someone in another city hangs it in their hallway. It still means the same thing to me."

"Ordered the Warli canvas for a housewarming gift. It arrived carefully packed and the story card was a genuinely lovely touch — the couple kept it displayed next to the painting."
"I've bought 'handmade' things online before that felt mass-produced. This Dokra horse has real weight and texture to it — you can tell it was actually cast by hand."
