Handmade with Heart.
Crafted by Tradition.
Rooted in Pali, Rajasthan under the leadership of Prakash Gehlot, Gehlot Export was founded with a singular conviction: that true luxury is not mass-produced in a sterile factory, but slowly coaxed into life by human hands holding generational memory.
Where River Mud and Quartz Meet the Sun

Our Mission
To dismantle exploitative middleman networks, ensuring that rural Indian master craftsmen receive up to 70% of every creation's value while preserving endangered heritage art forms from extinction.
Our Community
Today, our collective directly partners with over 450 hereditary families across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. Every purchase pays fair monthly wages and healthcare stipends.
Our Eco Ethos
We reject virgin plastic packaging and synthetic toxic resins. Our creations celebrate raw earth, virgin cast brass, organic vegetable indigo, and honey-comb biodegradable protective wrap.
The Keepers of the Flame
Meet the four senior master craftsmen heading our provincial clusters.
Master Ramswaroop Prajapat
Jaipur Blue Pottery & Terracotta
Ramswaroop-ji started working alongside his grandfather when he was 12. Over four decades, he has trained more than 85 younger potters in his village, preserving the low-temperature wood-fired glazing process that gives Jaipur Blue Pottery its luminous cobalt hues.
"Unlike clay pottery, Blue Pottery uses quartz stone powder and gum. It never cracks or chips, carrying the turquoise sky of Rajasthan forever."
Kamla Devi Chhipa
Dabu & Bagru Hand Block Printing
Belonging to the traditional Chhipa printing lineage of Bagru, Kamla Devi leads an all-women cooperative of 34 women who prepare natural mud-resist paste (dabu) and stamp handloom cottons under the warm winter sun.
"The black dye comes from rusted iron horseshoe scraps and jaggery; the yellow from dried pomegranate rinds. Nature gives us every single color."
Chirag Mistry
Heritage Wood Carving & Brass Inlay
Chirag specializes in delicate 'Tarkashi' (fine brass wire inlaid into cured sheesham wood) and lattice jharokha screens. His family has carved decorative doors and heritage furniture for royal palaces for four generations.
"A machine cuts in straight lines; a chisel guided by human breath curves around the living heartwood grain."
Suresh Sahu
Lost-Wax Dhokra Bell Metal Casting
Practicing the 4,000-year-old non-ferrous metal casting method traced back to the Mohenjo-Daro Dancing Girl, Suresh crafts primordial tribal idols, peacocks, and urlis with beeswax threads and river clay molds.
"Every single piece has its mold broken after firing. There are never two identical Dhokra idols in this entire world."
