Ladil Dampy Arts

You can find us at 477 in Kurla West on the ground floor, quite close to the Jhulelal Temple. The shop is usually full of half-finished projects and the smell of paint. We do various types of art and decorative work here. It is not a quiet place because we are always cutting things or mixing colors. Being near the temple means there are always people walking past, which is nice. Our space is a bit cramped because we keep all our supplies, like canvases and wood pieces, right there in the front. Sometimes we work late into the night if a project needs to dry by morning. We don't have a website or anything big like that. People usually just hear about us from their neighbors or see us working when they go to the temple. We try to make things that look good and last. It is a very hands-on kind of business. Some days are slow and we just sit and sketch, other days we have three people in here trying to finish a large order. We just enjoy the work and staying busy in the Kurla neighborhood. We do not have a fancy gallery, just this ground floor room where all the creative stuff happens. It might look messy to some, but to us, it’s just how things get made. We often have tea while we talk about the next design.
