A mural imprinted with motifs of trees, school of fish and other life forms. This is the façade of the gallery - Little India. Miniature paintings from Rajasthan (called Pichvais), handicrafts and other objects d'art made from rosewood, sandalwood and white wood adorn the shelves. The sculpture is exquisitely carved by skilled artisans and is a pleasing sight to the discerning eye.

Bronze and brass items, artifacts and figurines of gold and silver are available too. C.J. Dhadda - the man behind the venture, personally handpicks all artifacts during his travels all over India. Basically a jeweller, his first love remains jewellery. A range of precious, semi precious stones, diamonds and studded jewellery lines the glassed showcases.
