SUPPORT CRAFTSMEN
Vina and tambur making at Brhaddhvani serves a dual-purpose. In addition to providing durable, high-quality vina and tamburs, we are committed to supporting craftsmanship. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extensive deterioration in the already challenging livelihoods of craftsmen. We have created a safe environment for them to earn their living. The proceeds of vinas purchased from Brhaddhvani go entirely towards the welfare of craftsmen and other artisans involved in the labour. We are grateful to all those who connect with our cause.
