Short answer: Dharohar is Meru Gifting's initiative connecting corporate buyers with 4,000+ artisan families across 25+ Indian states, producing handcrafted mementos in crafts like Pichwai, Dhokra, Bidri and Moradabad brass. It matters because it turns a corporate gift into a sustainable, story-led piece instead of a generic mass-produced item.

Which crafts are part of the Dharohar range?
Dharohar covers 16 named craft traditions: Moradabad brass/metal, Dhokra (Chhattisgarh), Pichwai (Nathdwara), Bidri (Bidar), Banaras lacquerware and brocade, Kashmiri papier-mâché, Khurja pottery, Pattachitra (Odisha), Madhubani, Warli, Kishangarh miniature, Meenakari on marble, Jaipur stone carving, Ajrakh block print, Tussar (Bhagalpur) and terracotta/Kagzi pottery. Each product page names the specific craft and region.
Why is Dharohar more sustainable than a standard branded gift?
Dharohar pieces are handmade using traditional materials and techniques rather than mass injection-moulded plastic, and buying them channels corporate gifting budgets directly to artisan families instead of only factory production. They also tend to be kept as decor rather than discarded, unlike low-cost giveaway items.
Is Dharohar suitable for branded corporate gifting, or only unbranded décor?
Most Dharohar pieces are naturally unbranded — the craft itself is the message — but some, like the Kalam Daan pen holder or Swarn Jaali photo frame, can carry a small engraved plate with your company name for leadership or client gifting.
How does pricing compare to standard branded gifts?
Dharohar pieces span ₹499 (Pushpanjali tealight holder) to ₹12,999 (Manorath Wish-Fulfilling Metal Tree), generally sitting in the premium to executive tiers because of the handwork involved, though smaller pieces fit a standard budget too.
What is the MOQ for Dharohar artisanal items?
Dharohar items generally have a lower MOQ than the branded catalogue since they are not tied to bulk tooling, though production is handmade so lead times can run longer than the standard 7–15 working days — confirm the exact timeline per craft when you order.
