Brij Lata Art & Craft

We are located right in the heart of Gopinath Bazar in Vrindaban, very close to the Gopinath Mandir. Being near the temple means there are always people around, especially during the festival times. At Brij Lata Art & Craft, we try to keep up with the pace of the bazar, which isn't always easy. Our shop is filled with traditional items that we put together right here. It’s a small space, and sometimes it feels like the walls are closing in with all the stock we have. We’ve been in Vrindaban for a long time, and we’ve seen the streets change, but the spirit of the place stays the same. The bells from the mandir are a constant background noise for us while we work. We don’t have any fancy marketing plans or a big team of designers. It’s just us doing what we know how to do. Sometimes the monkeys from the rooftops try to get into the shop, so we have to keep a close watch on the door. It’s a bit of a messy job, working with different paints and fabrics, but we enjoy it. We don’t pretend to be anything we’re not. We’re just local people making local things for anyone who passes through the bazar. If you’re visiting the temple, you’ll probably walk right past us. We don’t have a big sign, just our work sitting out front for people to see.
