Chhaya is a celebration of Nepal’s identity, offering a platform for artisans to collaborate for the re-interpretation and innovation of local arts and crafts by bridging the old and the new. This facility aims to preserve and promote handmade Nepalese arts and crafts through the fusion of business, design, and increased awareness. The objective is to provide a place where artisans can envision, assimilate, and implement innovative ideas; visitors can gain awareness, learn, and interact with artisans; and business strategists can nurture the growth of the artisan’s products and spread their influence.
Chhaya, meaning “shadow” in Nepali, symbolizes the essence of the past informing the present. It serves as an emblem of the country’s rich heritage, inviting all to partake in its vibrant tapestry of tradition and innovation. It acts as a gateway to the perpetuation of this wealth and offers individuals to wander, explore, and immerse themselves in it.
