India is bouquet of colours, traditions and celebrations. Each one of
the States in India, is distinct in its customs traditions and belief,
yet is sown together by its varied arts and culture. The splendor of the
bygone era which catered to the needs of both the East and the West in
the form of culture, tradition, art, literature, music, etc. spring to
life in all their glory.
Its rich spices are the most fragrant memories of India. Besides this
what earned a recognition in the global map has been its dance and music.
This art form from the different States of India be it the North or the
South is greeted with utmost veneration globally.
Apart from this, the myriad Indian Handicrafts too have played a significant
role in enhancing its popularity in the global scenario. Be it the sculptures
on wood and stones in the Indian temples or the palatial rich ethnic furniture
with meticulously finished carving, paintings, architecture, dance forms,
historic texts, sculptures and just everything - India can be said to
be truly unprecedented.
Indian handicrafts occupy a place unparalleled in the hearts of millions
of art lovers as they are created by skilled craftsmen from rural and
urban areas spread across the country, who once enjoyed the royal patronage.
Their artistic creations made the palaces of Rajas and Nawabs come alive.
Their deft nimble hands turned the things of daily use into objects of
art. Different regions of India use different materials and styles for
creating these objects of art. But all these have one common feature –
the bond of total Indianness. A perfect blend of history, religion and
culture.
Indian handicrafts with their timeless appeal and elegance have been
admired across time and space. The cultural rhythm of India reverberates
in the modest dwellings of the artisans for whom art is not just a vocation
but also veneration. Our online store showcases the beauty of Indian arts
and crafts in their natural splendor. Most of the handicrafts displayed

THE BEGINNING ….
Shri
Kantibhai Kapasi, the founder of Kapasi Group, began his career in 1964
with Khadi Bhandar, Near Income-Tax Circle, Ahmedabad. While continuing
his service, he used to supply artistic handicrafts to their employers
and earn up to Rs.5000/- per month. Suddenly, one fine morning in 1973,
opportunity knocked his doors by way of an advertisement in newspapers
shown to him by his colleague. Content of the advertisement inspired Shri
Kantibhai and without a second thought, grabbed it. Result he got the
first genuine business opportunity for exporting Rs.2 lakhs worth of embroidered
textiles to a South American client. He had supplied these goods to the
client under the firm name – Bharat Kala Kendra.
This
was the much needed fillip to Shri Kantibhai to put his dreams into shape.
Realising the great potentiality, he had decided to take a chance of opening
a small exclusive showroom of Indian artistic handicrafts in Ahmedabad.
Thus, KAPASI HANDICRAFTS EMPORIUM was born on 18th February
1973. The showroom was inaugurated and thrown open to the customers at
the hands of the then Mayor of Ahmedabad.
