"There's a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that you will only find in India. No computer technology can replicate the level of handmade artistry that has been passed down by each family for thousands of years. The talent is unimaginable and the people are so peaceful and friendly. We intend to showcase India's artistry and apply ancient Ayurveda philosophies to a modern lifestyle starting at home."

Anaya's marble platters and kitchenware are all made in Agra,the same city of the Taj Mahal. The Taj was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. He commissioned 20,000 of the most skilled artisans all around India to build this structure using white marble inlayed with semi precious stones. The skills of these artisans were passed down through each generation. Take a close look at the Anaya Hand Carved Elephants. There's a baby elephant carved into the stone with no seam- only a skill you can find from the descendants who built the Taj Mahal. We were lucky enough to witness sunrise at the Taj on a cool spring morning. The color of the structure itself changes as it reflects the bright rising Indian sun.

Anaya is a resource for artisan design and a destination where wellness and home come together to balance the mind, body and soul. We infuse Ayurveda practices into modern living, starting with thoughtful design at home.
