About Handcrafted Stone Sculpture & Decor
Stones With Stories
I work with stone to create decor that’s steeped in our culture. Each piece blends South Indian temple inspiration with handcrafted artistry. If you drop by, our dogs Scooby & Subbi might just be your first hello.
Crafted By Hand, Not Machine
All our sculptures are pure kai kelasa (handiwork). I collaborate with artisans from Karnataka, Nepal, and students of shilpakala (sculpture art). No two items look exactly alike - you’ll spot quirks and imperfections, which is just how handmade should be.
For Sacred & Personal Spaces
From your pooja room to the garden, I offer statues including:
- Ganesha in Mysuru style stone carving, made from Krishna Shila decor (dark, hard stone) in various poses
- Handmade Nandi statue - singles and jodi nandi, carved from one stone
- Buddha busts and figures, mostly in pink and red sandstone
- Vishnu, Krishna, Hanuman in temple-inspired garden sculpture styles
Where Art Meets Nature
I carve temple-style niches into boulders for a raw-meets-refined look. Fountains from granite lamps, birdbaths with little statues, and tulasi katte (sacred planter stone art) for Bangalore folks.
Heritage With A Twist
You’ll find Gandaberunda plaques, quirky goobey (owl) statues for your doorstep, and Japanese-style lanterns or stepping stones for the garden.
The Stone Itself
I use natural, sustainable granite, sandstone, and marble. Every mark is a part of the story - best appreciated up close, flaws and all.

My Story
Hey, we’re Greenhouseblr. Dileep & Lakshman here. Started this gig back in 2016, mixing botanicals with old-school craft. Our place? Kinda like a jungle, kinda like home. Sometimes we throw open house nights - music, food, good vibes. You’ll spot Scooby & Subbi (our doggos) showing off, and maybe you’ll get natti coffee if it’s raining. Everything here has a story, from Tulasi Katte to wild pyrography - all soaked in South India’s traditions.
My Work
Home Decor & Art - We curate handcrafted home decor, vintage finds, stone Tulasi planter, pyrography wood burn art, and evil eye warder masks.
Inspired by South India - Our stone sculptures and living orchid arrangements are rooted in local temple art and rustic charm.
Experience Our Space - Not just a store - it’s a place to chill, connect, and soak in stories behind every piece.
Artisan Craftsmanship - Each item is made by hand, showing off skills from stone carving to Sri Lankan wood burn art.
