A Journey Rooted in Art and Heritage
From a young age, I have been deeply captivated by the vibrant world of Indian art and craftsmanship. It wasn’t just about the colors or the intricate designs, but something far more profound—an emotional connection to the stories, traditions, and the generations of artisans who pour their hearts into every creation. Whether it was a hand-carved piece of wood, a beautifully woven fabric, or an intricately designed brass idol, these works of art always held a special place in my life.
Indian art and craft are not merely objects. They are living pieces of cultural history, crafted with such care and attention to detail that they become timeless. I have always felt at peace being surrounded by these pieces—each one telling a story, each one carrying with it a meaning, a heritage, and a spirit that lasts for generations. Despite this richness, I often wondered why these treasures were not appreciated as they should be in the broader world.
This is where Alankaar was born—from a desire to share the beauty and soul of Indian craftsmanship, starting here in Minnesota. I felt that it was time for these works of art to be seen, understood, and cherished not just for their aesthetic appeal but for the cultural legacy they carry. Hence Alankaar is founded by my husband Sumit and I.
Through Alankaar, I aim to bring this meaningful art into the homes and lives of people who appreciate not only beauty but the stories behind it. It’s not just about decorating spaces, but about connecting to something deeper. It’s about finding pieces that speak to you, that resonate with meaning, and that can be passed down through generations—creating a legacy of appreciation, artistry, and tradition.
I believe that art should be an integral part of every home, not just as decoration, but as a symbol of culture, connection, and history. With Alankaar, I’m excited to offer unique, handcrafted pieces that bring this vision to life, helping others to discover the joy and elegance that Indian craftsmanship offers. Together, we can give these treasures the appreciation they truly deserve. – Qamr
