“In India, we are very diverse and we wanted to bring that and show people all of the diversity that we have,” said Yajur to Patch previously.
Many of the products for sale are produced from wood, brass, and stone. Lotus also features Dhokra Art, a lost wax casting technique that is only present in three or four small tribes and villages.

“They are the only ones who create this art because it is passed down by generations,” said Yajur.
Sandhya noted that each piece of art is intricately made by hand and handpainted. They take months to create and no piece is exactly the same.
“You can buy this very box and if we get another one it will not be the same since each piece is handmade. Nothing is mass-produced,” said Sandhya.
