About Us

Preserving Heritage, Shaping Modern Elegance

Welcome to a world where tradition isn’t just a memory—it’s a living, breathing art form. At the heart of our platform lies a deep-seated passion for Lac and handcrafted jewelry, an ancient craft that has adorned the wrists of royalty and dreamers alike for centuries. Born from the vibrant landscapes of Rajasthan and nurtured by master artisans, our collection is a tribute to the timeless beauty of Indian craftsmanship.


Meet the Founder: Rooted in the Manihari Legacy

At the helm of Karikanm is our founder, Dhaneshwar Lakhera, whose connection to this craft is deeply ancestral.


Born into a traditional Manihari family, Dhaneshwar grew up surrounded by the warm glow of the kilns, the vivid hues of molten resin, and the rhythmic, delicate artistry of generational craftsmen. For him, bangle making was never merely an occupation—it was the soul of his family and a cherished cultural identity.


Witnessing the brilliance of this craft alongside the need for modern innovation, Dhaneshwar founded Karikanm to bring ancestral Indian artistry to the modern world with contemporary design, ethical pricing, and uncompromised quality.


"For generations, our family has shaped raw materials into expressions of celebration and grace. With Karikanm, I invite you to carry not just an ornament, but a legacy of genuine Rajasthani craftsmanship."

— Dhaneshwar Lakhera, Founder

The Soul of Our Craft: Our Process

Unlike mass-produced, machine-stamped accessories, every piece on our platform begins with patience, heat, and precision. Whether shaping natural lac or crafting durable, modern resin designs, our artisans skillfully manipulate the molten mediums—embedding them with intricate patterns, shimmering crystals, rich beads, and fine foiling.


This is a meditative ritual. From the traditional Manihari shaping techniques to the final buffing and setting, each piece carries the dedication and warmth of its maker, ensuring a finish that is comfortable, resilient, and uniquely distinctive.

Caring For Your Handcrafted Jewelry

Handmade lac and resin jewelry is durable, yet simple care helps preserve its luster for years:

  1. Heat Sensitivity: Avoid direct extreme heat, radiators, or hot water to protect the structural finish.
  2. Perfumes & Sprays: Put on your bangles after applying perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays to maintain surface shine and crystal brilliance.
  3. Storage: Store pieces in a dry place, preferably wrapped in soft cloth or in your Karikanm pouch.
