We are Open!!!!!!!!

The paisley is probably the most representative motifs of the Indian cultural ethos. Its intricacy, whether woven, painted or even hennaed has fascinated many across time. Yet the paisley is only one facet of the vast and diverse world that forms the panorama of indigenous craft forms.
Paisley, Bidri, Dokra,Kundan, Phad, Warli, Khurja, Cheriyal, Kondapalli, Kalamkari, Pochampalli, Ikkat and many more of their counterparts bring unbelievably colorful images to mind. The need to constantly discover and travel on this ancient path gives us at Mudrarika , an unending passion for the art forms of India. 



Born of an idea, that encompasses many dreams, hopes and art forms J, Mudrarika is driven by the idea to bring to centre stage--- the lost weaver, the lone potter and the lost artisan. Since many artisans and entrepreneurs have no voice, our motive is to celebrate their work while helping create livelihoods.

Mudrarika stocks paintings, handicrafts, jewellery (both semi-precious and costume), accessories like stoles, bags, ethnic clothing (saris, salwar kurtas) and home linen. If you share our vision & passion, do drop by at our store. It would be a pleasure to have your company. And even if you don't, do drop in. Who knows? Maybe you'll find something that will catch your eye & convert you for life J

We are open from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on all days except Tuesdays.

Come see us:  Ist floor, No 15, LMA Courtyard, (Above ICICI Bank) Harrington Road, Chetpet-31
