Pather Panchali

Ayarna

Handmade jewellery of every kind — dokra, fabric, jute, seed, brass, embroidery, crochet, kundan, wood and oxidised metal — as necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings. Pieces can be customised.

Craft

Hyale Highfy

Hyale Highfy makes wristwatches that tell the time in Bengal's own idiom: dials with Bengali numerals, Rabindranath, Netaji, Satyajit Ray and Feluda, Maa Durga with Kolkata's landmarks, and portraits of much-loved Bengali figures — in single and couple sets.

Craft

Potraboli

Potraboli makes paper goods for readers: illustrated bookmarks, among them a Durga Puja set, and the second volume of its Patu series.

Craft

Bhayli

Bhayli makes handmade jewellery and resin décor, customised to order. Real flowers are set in resin for pendants, necklaces, photo frames and planters — some with Maa Durga at their heart — alongside oxidised necklaces with thread-ball and jhumka tassels, enamel-print earrings and a necklace inspired by Jamini Roy.

Craft

Chobi-O-Ghor-ghoradum

Chobi-O-Ghor-Ghoradum makes handmade collectible miniatures drawn from Bengal's stories and folklore — Sukumar Ray's Abol Tabol creatures such as Kumro Potash, Huko Mukho Hangla, Bokocchop and the Tyas Goru, the King of Ghosts from Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne, Netaji, and Tintin — several set in display cases.

Craft

Tagore Association

Tagore Association works in batik, the old wax-resist way of dyeing cloth. Its stall carries batik-printed sarees in cotton and silk, bedsheets and wrap skirts, each worked by hand, so no two pieces come out quite alike.
