Kala Gurjari

Our place is at S 35 in Windsor Plaza, which is in the 7th Sector of Alkapuri. Alkapuri is a busy part of Vadodara, and Windsor Plaza always has people coming and going. We are up on one of the floors, away from the direct noise of the street. It’s not a very big space, but we have managed to fit a lot of traditional items into it. We don't have a professional decorator to arrange things. We just put the crafts where they fit on the shelves and tables. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes when we get new stock in. We’ve been here for a long time, and many of our customers are more like friends now. They drop by just to see what’s new or to have a quick chat. We don't use any corporate language or have a mission statement on the wall. We just enjoy the work we do and the items we sell. The lighting in the plaza isn't always the best, so we have a few extra lamps around to show off the colors of the fabrics and wood. It’s a very relaxed environment. We aren't trying to be the biggest or the most famous shop in town. We just want to provide good, handmade things to the people who appreciate them. It’s a quiet, steady life here in the 7th Sector and we like being part of the plaza.
