About me

I'M Rohit a traditional wood artisan specializing in wood carving and wood joinery, with a strong focus on ebony wood craftsmanship. I comes from a family of master artisans and was trained under my uncle, Late Asha Ram ji, a renowned craftsman known for his Mughal-inspired designs. Late Asha Ram ji had over 40 years of experience in traditional Mughal woodwork and was the recipient of multiple prestigious awards, including a State Award for Crafts. Growing up in this environment, I learned the craft through hands-on practice, observation, and mentorship, inheriting generations of traditional techniques. Today, I continues this artistic legacy with dedication and authenticity, preserving time-honoured craftsmanship while creating refined, high-quality woodwork.
