Handmade Artisan Markets in Bangalore
Experience the magic of authentic Indian crafts, where you meet the makers face-to-face and bring home stories woven by hand.
Welcome to our community. This is what it looks like when hundreds of artisans and thousands of supporters come together to celebrate the magic of handmade. We bring the best of Indian craft under one roof in a vibrant, family-friendly festival.
Meet the makers. We connect you directly with the artisans from across India, each with a unique story and a mastery of their craft. Hear from them about their process, their passion, and the heritage they pour into every piece.
"I come thrice a year, wherever it happens." Hear directly from our community of shoppers. Their love for authentic, handmade goods and the vibrant atmosphere of our markets is what fuels our work.
Draped in heritage, woven with love. Our markets are a treasure trove of Indian handlooms, featuring everything from exquisite Jamdani and Benarasi silks to everyday cotton sarees, each telling a story of its region and weaver.
It’s not just about shopping, it’s about creating. We host hands-on workshops for all ages, from pottery and Lippan art to paper-making and painting, led by master artisans. It's a chance to learn a new skill and connect with the craft.
Our mission is to bring the 'unknown karigar' to the forefront. We started this journey to solve the gap between skilled artisans and the customers who value their work, ensuring the makers get the credit and opportunity they deserve.
The vibrant atmosphere of our Festival of Handmade. We transform spaces into bustling marketplaces filled with colour, music, and creativity, creating an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
The best sight at our markets: a "Sold Out" sign. This is a testament to the incredible skill of our artisans and the amazing support from our community. Every purchase directly supports a maker's livelihood.
About Featured
At our markets, you meet the person who actually made the product, not just a seller. Whether it is a handwoven saree from Assam or a piece of Gond art, you are buying directly from the karigar. This connection is the heartbeat of what we do, and it is why we keep the middlemen out of the equation.
When you visit an A Hundred Hands market, you are not just walking through stalls. You are walking into a community of people who pour their heritage into their work. We host these gatherings at locations like Freedom Park and Jayamahal Palace to bring traditional Indian crafts into the modern, urban space.
What You Will Find
- Direct Access: Every product, from Jamdani weaves to natural fragrance gifts, comes straight from the artisan.
- Interactive Workshops: We believe in the healing power of 'haath ka kaam'. Join us for pottery, kite-making, or dot mandala sessions where you learn from master artisans.
- Diverse Crafts: We feature over 100 artisan groups. You can find everything from eco-friendly decor and ceramic pottery to mixed-metal jewellery and hand-painted illustrations.
Why Join Us
We started in a simple garden with one goal: to support the livelihood of the maker. We hate the idea of a 'hidden' artisan. Here, you get to hear the stories behind the objects. Ask the potter about their clay, or ask the weaver about the specific thread used in your saree. It is an honest exchange. We invite you to join our movement, support local skills, and take home something that has a soul.
