about Us

Making objects by hand is a basic human instinct since the beginning of time; and as time progressed it became a mark of civilisation and culture. The ancient act of hand- crafting is a tool that tells plainly of the path that humanity took to get here today. Craftsmanship in India comes naturally to its people who weave myths, legends and simple daily experiences into different forms of creativity that can change shape form day to day with consistency for centuries. To Indian artisans, handicrafts are often a fusion of utility and aesthetics.

People in Indian villages create unique craft pieces using the naturally available resources around them. The need to develop and support the handicraft community is necessary and immediate. It is essential for the development of the local communities at the grass-root level and for sustaining the dying crafts and traditions, which have been passed down generations. To continue these beautiful art and handicrafts from all over the country under one roof an effort was needed to renew them from decaying.

BONGPOL.com was born from an ardent desire to create a platform for all the beautiful and unparalleled creativity that the simple artisans of India have been quietly perfecting for centuries. We work closely with the artisans to understand their techniques, and create unique and sustainable items. Our desire is to become the instrument through which the artisans can directly connect with the global audience and helps craft sells not as objects but stories and ideologies. We are vying to make ‘dialogues’ between the craftsmen and their patrons, encouraging ‘co-creation’ possibilities and a collective growth.
