Sharing a handmade Aipan Wedding Umbrella inspired by the traditional Aipan art of Uttarakhand.
This type of umbrella is traditionally used as part of the groom’s wedding entry and adds a distinct Pahadi touch to the celebration.
Handmade in Uttarakhand.
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?
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.

Inspired by the people, traditions, and warmth of Uttarakhand. ❤️
I turned some familiar Pahadi characters into handmade keychains just for fun. Every piece is hand-painted, and I tried to keep the simplicity and charm of mountain life alive.

I made these handmade Aipan-inspired Rakhis using different relationship names like Bhai, Bhaiya, Daju, Dada and Bhenji. I wanted to give a traditional Uttarakhand art form a modern touch for Raksha Bandhan.

After seeing the Lord Shiva Aipan frame that PM Modi recently presented as a diplomatic gift to the President of Indonesia, I wanted to challenge myself by recreating it by hand. This piece is inspired by Uttarakhand’s traditional Aipan art, with every detail made carefully.

I recently experimented with applying traditional Aipan art to a phone case. My intention was to see how this folk art can be adapted to everyday items while keeping its traditional feel. I’d genuinely love feedback from fellow Uttarakhandis. What would you change or improve?
