India’s Handicrafts: A Journey Through Time
India’s handicrafts are more than just art; they are a reflection of the country’s cultural fabric. For thousands of years, these crafts have been passed down through generations, preserving not just skills but also the stories, rituals, and traditions of India’s diverse communities.
Today, these artisans face increasing challenges in maintaining their crafts in the face of modernization. Sanjhi works to support and sustain these traditions by bringing their works to the world.
Sohrai Paintings

Sohrai painting is a form of tribal art that celebrates the relationship between nature and humanity. Passed down through generations of women, these paintings often adorn the walls of homes during harvest festivals. The use of natural colors and bold lines reflects the artisans’ close connection to the earth.
At Sanjhi, we partner with Sohrai artisans to bring their beautiful works into the modern world of corporate gifting, ensuring the survival of this art form.

Madhubani art is an ancient form of folk painting practiced in the Mithila region. Known for its geometric patterns and vibrant colors, this art form traditionally depicted gods, goddesses, and nature, reflecting the spiritual beliefs of the community.
Through our collaboration with Madhubani artists, we aim to preserve this centuries-old tradition while offering unique gifts that carry the stories of India’s rich cultural heritage.
