FAQs

Is the Sohrai lamp really hand-painted?

Yes — each peacock motif is hand-painted by trained Sohrai folk artists, so every lamp is individually made and unique.

What's the story behind the Taj Mahal trays?

The artwork is drawn by artist Devangana Kumar from an early-1900s hand-tinted postcard of the Taj Mahal viewed from the riverside — an original illustration, not a stock print.

Are these pieces good for gifting?

Yes — each piece is a heritage-style statement piece, popular for housewarming and festive gifting.
