As a companion or pet, or a source of livelihood, or just a keepsake trophy,
‘Gaatha’ meaning ‘a great story’, has been functioning in the craft sector for over five years now. With its many amazing stories of Indian Handicrafts that have been shared with the audience, Gaatha has been actively supporting the Indian artisan community by providing them a unique platform for their products and unique voices. It’s the transfer of this value-system more than the handicraft itself, which is the objective of the ‘Gaatha’ project.
Above all, we want to identify Handicrafts of India & recognize the faceless artisan all over the world.
