Handmade objects, with their story intact
Purva Heritage works hand in hand with artisan families across West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. We sell their sholapith, chhau, terracotta, sabai grass, kolka and carved-brass work — and with every piece we pass on what makes it worth owning: who made it, where, and why the craft has survived.
Working with the makers, not around them
Purva Heritage began as weekend trips to the craft villages of West Bengal, Bihar , Assam & North Eastern States ,Jharkhand and Orissa , and grew into a year-round partnership with the families who keep these skills. Every piece is made the slow way — nothing is mass-produced, and most of what you pay goes straight back to the workshop.

Get in touchEvery piece arrives with its lineage
Who made it, where, and why the technique has lasted — that knowledge is part of the object. We sell the piece, but first we pass on what makes it worth owning: the craft, the region, and the hands behind it.
