Preserving Heritage. Creating with Heart.

Shunya Shikhar Crafts is a passion-driven venture founded by husband-wife duo Manasi Jadhav-Waghchaure and Amit Waghchaure – two fine artists and film professionals who share a deep love for history, art, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

What began as a hobby – collecting old coins, studying antique Maratha weapons, preserving original Raja Ravi Varma lithographs – slowly turned into something bigger.

We realised something simple:
Our history shouldn’t sit locked in cupboards.
It should be experienced. Held. Worn. Displayed. Celebrated.

And that’s how Shunya Shikhar Crafts was born.

– Where Cinema Meets Craft –

Both of us come from the world of films.

Amit is a Production Designer and Art Director who has worked with leading production houses like Vyjayanthi Films, Friday Filmworks, Prakash Jha Productions and more. His work has earned nominations at Filmfare Awards, Zee Chitra Gaurav and Pravah Picture Puraskar.

Manasi, a Fine Arts graduate with over a decade of experience, has worked as an Associate Production Designer and Set Dresser on films like Godavari, Crazxy, State of Siege 26/11 and several commercials. Her eye for detail and authenticity is something she carries into every piece we create.

In cinema, we build worlds that feel real.
Through Shunya Shikhar, we build objects that carry stories.

Every design is approached with the same detailing, research and respect that we bring to film sets.

– The First Step: A Rakhi –

Our journey into crafts began with a simple idea — designing a Golden Hon inspired Rakhi rooted in Maratha heritage.
It resonated instantly.

From Pune to across Maharashtra, and eventually across India — people connected with it because it felt personal. It felt ours.

What started with rakhis soon expanded into: 925 Silver pendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Miniature Maratha weapon replicas like Dhop, Dandpatta, Katar and Waghnakh, Heritage-inspired decor and collectibles, Handmade journals and artistic lifestyle products

We were among the first in India to introduce detailed miniature Maratha weapon replicas for collectors and history lovers.

– Why We Do This –

We are not mass manufacturers.
We are artists.

Our love for Maratha history, Indian art, and thoughtful detailing drives every decision. Whether it’s a silver pendant, a fabric pouch, or a collectible replica — authenticity and proportion matter to us.
Some products are handmade. Some are curated. All are chosen with intent.
We believe heritage should feel accessible — not intimidating.
Proud. Personal. Alive.
जपायचं आहे — पण आधुनिकतेसोबत.

Since formally beginning in 2016 (GST registered), we’ve grown purely through organic support. No aggressive advertising. No noise. Just people discovering us, trusting us, and coming back.
From Maharashtra to the world — India, UAE, Australia, USA, UK, Germany, Canada, Mauritius and beyond — that trust means everything.

Shunya Shikhar is not just an e-commerce store. It is our creative extension.
Whatever we create will always carry sincerity, research, and respect for the story behind it.
