Our Story - From Heritage to Heirloom

House of Saaj is an initiative to curate and promote Heritage arts and crafts of India, with the goal of integrating them into a wider cultural landscape. We bring heirloom-worthy decor pieces to homes across the U.S., so heritage can be lived with, not just remembered.

We curate handmade Indian crafts that tell the stories of their creators. From the intricate Pattachitra paintings of Odisha to the bold, colorful motifs of Bhil and Gond art, every piece reflects generations of skill, dedication, and cultural pride. We work closely with multi-generational artisans, as well as emerging artists learning these timeless techniques, to ensure that each creation carries the authenticity of its heritage.

Our aim is to make traditional Indian art accessible to everyone. Every product is small-batch, handmade, and sustainable, crafted with care and designed to bring the beauty of India into your home. A portion of every sale goes directly to the artisans, supporting their livelihoods and preserving centuries-old craftsmanship. Currently we ship only within contiguous United States but our mission is to have a Saaj in every global home.

By choosing House of Saaj, you’re not just adding a piece of Indian heritage to your space—you’re joining a movement to keep these extraordinary arts alive for generations to come.

Our customers tell it better than we do!

Beautiful Cushion Covers

I recently bought some raw silk, hand block printed cushion covers from House of Saaj at an event. They had so many options and Shilpa, the owner, helped me choose a few cushion covers for my sofa. She had an astute understanding of colors and what will go well with my sofa color. I am very happy with my purchase.

Real heritage for the couple

I saw House of Saaj at an event in August and even though I could’ve bought from them at the time, I was curious to see their studio and their other items. So I went to their studio to buy a heritage craft from them as a wedding gift for my friend’s daughter. I wanted to gift her something that can connect her to her heritage, as the family is from Bihar. She was very touched to receive the Sikki Grass art wall decor I had bought for her. Shilpa, the owner of House of Saaj, told me she wants to reach such young people of Indian heritage via her business so that they can connect to their roots. I was happy to buy such an incredible gift from their collection. I saw House of Saaj at an event in August and even though I could’ve bought from them at the...

Unbelievable prices!

I met Shilpa from House of Saaj at our town’s market and I couldn’t believe the prices of authentic, handcrafted pieces of every art and craft. It is an impressive collection and it was very heartwarming to see how she is trying to save the fading Heritage arts and crafts of India by promoting them via her business. Their items should be priced more competitively because they reinvest their profits completely! I hope more people can support House of Saaj in their efforts to save real heritage fading arts and crafts of India. I bought a purse for my wife on my own (which she loved), something I have never done before.

Lippankaam Squares

I bought a set of three LippanKaam wall decor from House of Saaj. It is a very unique item and we had not heard of it before. I gifted it as a house warming gift and they simply loved it. I am looking forward to buying some more LippanKaam frames for my own home and getting them customized to my colors. Love working with Shilpa on any project!

Beautiful Kutchi Shawls

I bought five Kutchi embroidered shawls from House of Saaj to give as Christmas gifts and I must say I was amazed at the quality of the sheep wool. The embroidery was exquisite and I like how the owner, Shilpa was so knowledgeable about the items she has in her shop. The shipping time was great as they arrived well in time.

Lovely Brass Diyas

I bought a set of brass Diyas from House of Saaj at their event in October. I was delighted when I got so many compliments from my guests at my Diwali party. I am impressed at the etchings on brass which made the Diyas so fetching. I would recommend House of Saaj handmade items for their quality and commitment to small batch production.

Tanjore Trays

I bought two Tanjore trays from House of Saaj for gifting during Diwali. I loved that I didn’t have to wait to go to India to get such beautiful gifts any more. Their shop in Carlisle, MA has such interesting handcrafted products! Having such a boutique shop so close to Boston makes it easier to travel too.
