Ekaaya Handwork Llp

Ekaaya Handwork Llp is tucked away in the middle of Burra Bazar, which anyone from Kolkata knows is one of the busiest spots you can find. Our specific place is shop number 233/2 on Manohar Das Street. If you’ve ever walked down 113-B, you know how crowded it gets with all the handcarts and people rushing around. It’s a lot of noise and energy every single day. We focus on handwork here, which is why we chose this area. Everything we need is right within walking distance, even if the walk takes forever because of the traffic. The shop isn't huge, but it's packed with what we need to get through the day. We spend most of our hours hunched over pieces, working on the details that people in this market look for. It gets hot in the afternoons and the tea seller knows exactly when to come by. There’s no lobby or air-conditioned waiting room here. It’s just a workspace in an old building where the walls have seen a lot of history. We’ve been here long enough that the neighbors know us, and we know which days are going to be the most chaotic. Being in Burra Bazar means you’re always in the thick of things. It’s not always comfortable, and the street can be a nightmare during the monsoons, but it’s where the work happens. We just open up the shutters and get to it.
