Craft legacy — est. 1999
Ojjas
Two ventures, one inheritance
In 1999, Smt. Raj Kanwar Chundawat established Ojjas as a production house for hand block printed textiles in Bagru, Rajasthan. What she built over decades — the wooden blocks, the dye recipes, the relationships with printing families — now lives on through her children. Her son and daughter-in-law founded Dharan, a clothing brand rooted in the same craft. Her daughter carries the original Ojjas name forward as Ojjas Crafts. Each is a distinct vessel for the same knowledge.

Founded by her son and daughter-in-law, Dharan is a Jaipur-based comfort clothing brand that carries Raj Kanwar's craft vocabulary into contemporary garments. The studio works with hand block printing, natural dyeing, and embroidery on organic cotton, linen, hemp, and bamboo — fabrics chosen as carefully as the prints laid upon them.
Collections follow the rhythm of Indian festivals, occasions, and seasons. Each release draws from a specific craft tradition: indigo resist work in Neel, Dabu mud-resist printing in Dabu Diaries, Sanganeri floral vocabulary in Gulmohar Galore. Other collections include Dhoop Chaav and Print Charm.

spiritual enlightenment, the core of all creativity
Run by her daughter, Ojjas Crafts is the most direct continuation of the original venture. It remains a manufacturer of hand block printed textiles, committed to conserving the craft and preserving a design directory built over decades — traditional Sanganeri butas, floral jaals, geometric repeats, and Dabu printing, all executed in pure cotton.
The workshop operates from Jaipur Bloc, a textile park in Bagru Industrial Area with sustainable infrastructure: effluent treatment, rainwater harvesting, solar energy, and biotechnology-based pre-washing. Production here is process-sensitive — natural mordants, vegetable dyes, and the unhurried pace that hand printing demands.
