Bj Artisans

We are located in the Bhagwati Complex in Allahabad. If you know where Durga Pooja Park is, we are right there. Our work is with artisans, which means we deal with a lot of handmade items and crafts. It's not a factory. It's more of a place where things are put together by hand. Allahabad is a city with a lot of tradition, and we try to keep that going in our own small way. The complex where we sit is quite old. Sometimes the walls need a bit of paint, but it's where we do our business. We don't have a big marketing department. We just show people what our artisans have made. Often, you'll find us sorting through different materials or talking to the people who make the goods. It’s a slow process, not like the big shops in the mall. We like the local feel of the Durga Pooja Park area. It gets very lively during festivals. Our shop is just a regular part of the neighborhood. We don't use much corporate language because that’s not who we are. We are just people who appreciate good handiwork and want to provide it to the local community. It’s a simple life and a simple business. We often sit in the park for a few minutes when we need a break. The artisans we work with are like family now. We’ve known some of them since we started years ago. It’s not about growing into a huge company, just about keeping the tradition alive right here in Allahabad. We like it that way.
