About Us

Kalakrithi

It all started in the year 1961. Would you believe it we started out selling from a small storeroom?. We made it bigger and donned our crew. We started sculpting one of the most innovative forms of idols or rather hard-to-find antiques. As traditional antique stores had been dissolving sooner than expected over the few years, Kalakrithi was founded. Kalakrithi is one of a kind online store that has the largest diversification of hand-crafted antiques. Every piece is a composition of raw materials, accomplishment of our artists and untiring sculptors who always strive to exceed your expectations in terms of spiritual and decorative purposes.

We truly believe in the transformative power of these spiritual idols and their design and ability to simplify life and inspire people everywhere. We wanted to bring the best and the most valuable artifacts where customers gained much more than just buying an idol.

OUR MISSION

We believed that contemporary designs along with conventional beliefs can make our complicated ideas more understandable and make time-honored products. Our mission is to bring an awe-inspiring life to everyone
