Good to know

नेहमीचे प्रश्न.

Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp at 90492 25195.

How long does a nameplate take?

20 to 25 days to make and deliver. Each one is made by hand, so we don’t take urgent orders. Please book ahead of your griha-pravesh or festival.

Is the nameplate covered with glass?

No. A transparent acrylic sheet covers the plate and protects the clay flowers.

Can I change the size, shape, flowers or colours?

Yes. Size and shape are made to your requirement. Flowers include chafa, sonchafa, parijat, aboli, mogra, jaswand and cherry blossom.

Do you take bulk and return-gift orders?

Yes: haldi-kunku waan, Saraswati frames, keyholders, magnets and samai aasans. We have delivered orders of 25, 50 and 70 pieces.

Can you ship outside India?

Yes, we have shipped backdrops to the USA. Large 12-mahine jharoka frames can be made in two parts so you can carry them abroad.

What does it cost?

It depends on size, flowers and detail. Design yours above and send it on WhatsApp; we reply with the price.
