Aipan Rakhi Hamper — A Little Piece of Uttarakhand for Raksha Bandhan

This is our handmade Aipankari Rakhi Hamper, inspired by Uttarakhand’s traditional Aipan art.
We wanted to create something that feels more personal than a regular Rakhi gift — with an Aipan Rakhi, Pahadi elements, chocolates, and a handmade touch throughout the box.
Everything is thoughtfully put together by our small team of artists in Uttarakhand.
Would you choose a traditional handmade hamper like this for Raksha Bandhan?

Tried making a Shree Krishna Aipan frame for the first time — along with Adiyogi & Ganesha [OC]

Made these three Aipan artworks recently — Shree Krishna, Adiyogi and Ganesha.
The Shree Krishna design was made for an order, and it was actually my first time creating Krishna in Aipan style. I wasn’t sure how the final composition would turn out, but I’m quite happy with how the artwork came together.
Trying to explore how traditional Uttarakhand Aipan patterns can be used with different spiritual and cultural themes while keeping the handmade character intact.
Which one do you like the most — Krishna, Adiyogi or Ganesha?
