Enchanting Studios

An initiative started in 2017 by neighbours-cum-friends, Prajakta Koshe and Ishani Shetty, Enchanting Studios is the place to go for backdrops and makhar shopping. We’ve all seen the typical and traditional makhars and backdrops that are available in the market. But this place offers something different. With themes like Ilkal, Khun, Nath, Hand Painted Floral Art, Jharokha, Forest and more, Enchanting Studios stands out for several reasons. The brand began when the duo started helping friends and family create beautiful Ganpati decor, and their work quickly became in demand. This led them to turn it into a business that now receives many orders. Their USP is that everything is handmade, lightweight, and easy to carry, using local fabrics and highlighting heritage ones like Ilkal and Khun. They even customise pieces according to your preferences. Ishani’s mother, Ashvina Shetty, is the artist who brings the vision to life through her creations. Their products are affordable, with prices starting at Rs. 999.

An enterprise by graphic designer Purva Khot, Joshi Creations has been curating rangoli stencils, moulds and more since 2015. In 2021, at the insistence of her husband, she stepped into the world of rangoli. What was expected to be in demand for Ganesh Chaturthi only, turned out to be a lucrative business venture that customers shop at all year round. Here, you can get rangoli stencils along with their USP product, readymade rangoli. It is made from polymer plastic that is washable and reusable. These are typical Sanskar Bharati rangolis that are famously done all over Maharashtra and always stand out from the crowd. Joshi Creations has prepared moulds of these rangolis that come in sets of 2, 4, 6 and 12. Each set has different types of moulds which you can pick and choose from with traditional symbols like Swastik, Om, Lotus, Lord Ganesh, Saraswati and more. Everything you get here is offered at affordable prices, starting from Rs. 50. These products are ideal for those who wish to make rangoli but lack the skills or even for gifting to your NRI friends and family to help them celebrate Indian festivals with ease!
