Say hi to Bhargavi!

I have always been fascinated with stories and storytellers. Reading was my first real passion, later extending to other forms of art. Over the last decade, I have gotten to know weavers, painters and potters across Bengal and am very excited to bring some of their stories to you.
I had started by drawing on tote bags and coasters, all of which are now mysteriously in the possession of my children. Taking this to mean approval from people who are not easily pleased, I decided to move to bigger objects. I personally design almost all of the items you will find here. While I have drawn on some of the objects, others have been shaped by people with more skill than me. This also means that most of the work that you see here are one of a kind.
I will eventually get back to painting on tote bags and coasters (both of which make great gifts). However, I am taking a little break until I have new ideas. Quality control remains strong!
While Bhargavi by Raka bears my name, the stories here are as much mine as they are of everyone else who has helped create the lovely items you see here. I do hope you will add your stories to ours.
