About Me: With Hindu deities, gods and goddesses inscribed on it, Indian temple jewellery came into evolution in the 9th century during the Chola dynasty. The earliest representation of temple jewellery was seen in mural paintings of Thiruvambadi shrine in the Sree Padmanabhasvamy temple, Thiruvananthapuram in South India. Historical records reveal that Indian temple jewellery was made using large quantities of gold that came as donations by the devotees. This helped in investing the wealth of gold into usable items. In a way, it also provided security to the temple and promoted temple art in the communities.

The Story: Classical and traditional in its appearance, temple jewelry is commonly associated with dancers practicing the dance form of Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi. Temple jewelry is characterised by some of the finest handwork, painfully crafted by skilled craftsmen and artisans. Even today, the original temple jewelry is made only by certain craftsmen, who have to follow stringent requirements during the course of making it, like maintaining a cool temperature (as heat could damage the delicate metal or gold plating threading), total concentration on each set due to the intricacy involved (which means creating only one piece at a time), and so on.
Shipping & Delivery: You can expect this product to arrive within 3 - 4 working days from the date of your order. Returns are not accepted, all sales are final.

A society from which beauty is removed becomes brutalized. The human craving for beauty has resulted in amazing forms of aesthetic creativity like architecture, gardens, performing arts, cuisines, sacred rituals, art and crafts. Over centuries, nothing has been able to suppress this urge to create beauty. Crafts are an integral part of this experiential creativity and the conduit for the imagination of forms. It is an extension of the human mind given life through the hand – which results in a physical, scientific, intellectual, emotional, meditative and sacred creation, usually born out of local culture, environment, lifestyle and materials. Craft is utility, decoration, ornamentation, meditation and aesthetics all rolled into one. The human quality of handwork beckons the discerning and sophisticated user of craft products who, by supporting handwork, celebrates its creator and the abstract quality of creativity to adorn, decorate, and use in daily life. CRAFTISAN® celebrates and promotes this philosophy of handwork. You have arrived at an authentic curated art and craft collective inspired by the elegant and diverse Indian ethos. We feature handcrafted creations by artisans, master craftspersons, craft clusters, Self Help Groups, NGOs, and designers across India.
