Meenakari Art

Meenakari Art - A Glimpse of Heaven in Every Stroke

Immerse yourself in a world where art meets opulence—where vivid hues and delicate embellishments transform ordinary surfaces into radiant treasures. Rooted in Persian tradition and flourishing in the royal courts of Gujarat and Rajasthan, Meenakari is a centuries-old technique of adorning metal (and now MDF) with enamel paint, glass colors, and sparkling Kundans to create breathtaking works of art.

Derived from the Persian words ‘Meena’ (heaven) and ‘Kari’ (to place), Meenakari means “placing the heavens” onto objects—making each artwork a piece of celestial beauty.
