Story Behind the Art:

'We are three in the family - my wife, my son and I. I started this work with no background in terms of my family or training in this field. I have learned from my own experiences. I always wanted my profession to be related to the field of art. I started with ivory products, and later switched to sandalwood. The art of making sandalwood boxes is extremely intricate and detail oriented, therefore it requires skilled workmanship. I am the guiding factor for my craftsmen, who create these exquisite boxes and other works based on my unique designs. My craftsmen and I are deeply involved with the making of sandalwood products. We also use kadam wood on occasion.'
