India 2015 - Visiting KHJ Artisans
After a 3 and half hour drive from Delhi, we begin a slow wind into a tight street in Upper Pradesh. We were greeted on the street by 4 brothers who run KHJ - who show us firstly into a small working space beneath their house. They demonstrated how beads and frames are smoothed and buffed, and then showed us into a nearby storeroom where a large variety of the products were kept. After a cool drink we are ushered onto the street and down a lane.
Hubli
Following the typically rough Indian road, surrounded by fruit trees full of big ripe mangoes and jack fruit, takes you to a very special place in the small city of Hubli in the South of India. A little way off is a gentle lake, where if you were to stay the night you’ll hear the chirping of hundreds of geckos.
