Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you understand our craftsmanship, ordering process, shipping, and product care.
Product & Authenticity
The items are crafted by skilled artisans using high-quality, often natural materials and traditional techniques, which results in superior detailing and durability compared to mass-produced goods.
At Shaaranga, we create and design a wide range of innovative artifacts. With our promoter’s collective experience of more than 100 years, you can be assured of quality workmanship and exclusivity.
Due to the handmade nature of our products, slight variations in colour, size, and pattern are normal. No two pieces are exactly identical — this is part of their unique charm.

Yes, we are pleased to offer a gift-wrapping facility for your purchases.
However, certain products—due to their fragility, unique shape, size, or weight—may not be suitable for gift wrapping that can withstand the rigors of couriering.
In such cases, your item will receive our standard packing, designed specifically for logistics and product safety. Our priority is to ensure your item arrives safely and intact.

Most of our artifacts are exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces, and many are rarely repeated.
Because textures, finishes, and embellishments keep changing, a catalogue cannot reflect real-time availability.
Our website and social media are the best places to explore current collections, and our customer service team is always here to help.
These items belong to our exclusive range and may or may not be in stock.
You will need to contact our Customer Service Team for availability and pricing.

Our team will check and let you know if a similar artifact can be recreated for you.
We strictly abide by the Antiquity Law of India and consider it our responsibility to protect the nation's heritage.
We do not sell genuine antiques, and the export of items over 100 years old is prohibited by the Government of India.
Our "antique finish" artifacts—whether metal, wood, or other materials—are newly made but crafted to look period-style or museum-like through special finishing techniques.
