Chitra Handicraft

You can find us at No. 495, right near the Radha Gopal Ji Ka Mandir Radha Gopal Ji Ka Mandir in the Ghat Gate Bazar area. It is a very busy market. There is always the sound of bells from the temple and people haggling over prices just outside our door. Inside, the space is filled with all sorts of things we’ve been working on. There are piles of wood, pieces of fabric, and tools scattered across the workbenches. It isn't the most organized place, but we know where everything is. The smell of raw materials is always there. We spend a lot of time sitting on the floor or on low stools, working with our hands. It’s dusty work, and your fingers usually end up stained by the end of the day. The light comes in through the front door, which we keep open most of the time to catch a breeze. Ghat Gate Bazar is a lively place to be, even if it gets a bit overwhelming when the crowds are thick. We’ve been in this spot for years, and the temple nearby is a good landmark for anyone trying to find us. We don’t have a fancy showroom. Most of our stuff is just sitting on shelves or in corners until someone takes an interest. It’s a simple life, making things one by one. We don't worry about being modern. We just keep making what we know how to make.
