Aakarshak Interiors

Aakarshak Interiors is located right in the heart of Thathheri Bazar in Varanasi. If you have ever walked through those lanes, you know how packed and lively it can be. There is history in these streets, and we are glad to be a part of it. Our space is surrounded by shops selling all sorts of things, especially the metalware the bazar is known for. It is a bit of a squeeze getting larger items through the narrow paths sometimes, but we have learned the tricks over the years. Inside, we try to keep things a bit more orderly than the chaos outside. We do a lot of our planning and thinking right here at our desks. The smell of the market—food, old buildings, and incense—is always around. We do not have a massive showroom with bright lights. Instead, we have samples and drawings scattered around where we can reach them. It is a very hands-on way of working. Most of our day is spent talking to workers or sketching out ideas for people’s homes. We do not use a lot of fancy words to describe what we do. We just help people fix up their spaces so they look a bit better. Being in Thathheri Bazar means we are never bored, as there is always something happening right outside our front door. It is a good, busy place to be and we have become staples of the market over time.
