Shekhawati Art & Collections

You can find us at 6B in Village Hauz Khas. We’ve been in this neighborhood for a good stretch of time now. The shop is usually a bit of a mess, but we like to think of it as a busy kind of mess. We have all sorts of art and collections spread out across the space. It’s not one of those modern galleries where everything is white and empty. Our shelves are heavy with things we’ve picked up, and there is always something to look at. Sometimes we spend the whole morning just moving things around to make space for a new arrival. The village is always changing, with new people coming in, but we just keep doing what we do at 6B. We aren't interested in being a big fancy business. We just like the items we carry and enjoy talking about them with whoever walks through the door. It gets a bit loud outside with the tourists and the locals, but inside it’s usually just the sound of us working or a radio playing in the background. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just open up in the morning, dust off the collections, and see who stops by. It’s a simple life, surrounded by old things and art that has a story to tell. We’re just here in the village, keeping the shop going every day.
