Heritage Craft

Our Story — Handcrafted Rakhis & Festive Decor

Seven Years of Craft · Bikaner Workshop

हमारी कहानी · Our Story

Our Story

Made slowly. Checked by hand.

Arihant Novelty began in a small Bikaner workshop — seven years of quiet dedication, every piece made by hand, and a simple belief: what you send someone should carry love, not markups.

  • From the very beginning

    Arihant Novelty was built from scratch, seven years ago in Bikaner. Every design, every late night, went into pieces made to feel like family.

  • Every piece is made by hand

    No machines, no assembly lines. Kundan stones hand-pressed, silk threads hand-braided, meenakari enamel hand-painted, torans hand-strung — then checked, one by one, before it leaves Bikaner.

  • Rooted in Bikaner

    We carry forward a 300-year craft-city legacy, refining techniques passed down through generations of Rajasthani artisans.

  • Today, direct to your door

    A full catalog of handcrafted designs, shipped pan-India — straight from the workbench to your home, with no wholesaler, no GST, and no middleman in between.

Why it costs less

Sold straight from the workbench — no wholesaler, no retailer margin, and no GST. Family-run, not investor-funded.

This is more than a shop.
This is our craft. This is Bikaner.
This is Arihant Novelty.

What we make

Two lines, one workshop, the same hand techniques throughout:

Our collection spans fancy, stone, kundan, pearl and evil-eye rakhis, mauli thread, Om and Ganesha designs, meenakari styles, kids' superhero and cartoon rakhis, and Bhaiya-Bhabhi lumba sets — alongside pearl, mirror-work and beaded torans, reusable rangoli sets, and hand-finished door hangings and tea-light holders. Every piece handmade and shipped pan-India.

Delivery across India

We ship pan-India. Metro cities typically receive orders in 1-5 business days, and the rest of India in 3-8 business days after dispatch — some areas can take a little longer depending on the shipping partner, route, and other factors, but we do our best to get it to you on time. Orders above ₹2500 ship free; a flat ₹80 shipping fee applies to smaller orders.

Social impact

Beyond our own workshop, we're proud to support Nirmaan – BITS Pilani, a student-led non-profit whose women beneficiaries hand-craft rakhis and lumbas as part of their livelihood and women's-empowerment program. Their Raksha Bandhan collection carried our name into their own community sale.
