Carved work for temples, restaurants and venues.

Pillars, ceilings, doors, screens and large shrines, made to your drawings in Ahmedabad and shipped to Australia. Quoted per project.

Tell us about yours.

Temples (mandirs), carved by hand in Gujarat.

What we make

The same carvers who make our home pieces, working at the size a building needs. Everything is solid saag or sevan, carved by hand, finished in the workshop and crated for sea freight.

Temple shrines and altars

Shrines from two to five metres, with steps, canopies and back screens. Built in sections that pass through a door and bolt together on site.

Pillars, doors and arches

Entrances and structural cladding for restaurants, hotels and event venues. Carved to your architect's drawings, to Australian sizes.

Screens, ceilings and panels

Lattice (jali) screens by the square metre, coffered ceilings and wall panels. Repeating patterns, so the price per metre is known early.

How a project runs

Larger than a home piece, slower than a home piece, and planned the same way: a fixed price before anything is cut, photographs at every stage, one person to talk to.

01

Brief

You send drawings, photographs or a sketch on paper. We come back within a week with questions and a first range for the price.

02

Drawings and a fixed quote

The workshop draws every piece to scale. You approve the drawings and a fixed price. A 30% deposit starts the carving.

03

Carving, with photographs

Three to six months at the bench, depending on size. You see photographs at each stage, and a full set before crating.

04

Shipping and fitting

Sea freight to your nearest port, customs handled, delivered to site. We can arrange fitting in Adelaide, or work with your builder elsewhere.
