The Gift Shop at Chamiers carries handicrafts, silver jewellery, incense, stationery, pottery and women’s accessories. The emphasis is on hand- crafted, hand-sewn, carefully handpicked items sourced from all over the country to encourage and sell local craftsmanship. This section provides an ideal shopping experience for people looking for wedding gifts, housewarming gifts, NRIs or tourists taking back a bit of Indian culture to their homes abroad.
The range is exhaustive and new products are added almost on a weekly basis. The cheerful display which is renewed very often is often an irresistible invitation to buy.

Quietly, through the Senses
Vanilla and Ylang Ylang, Cinammon and Wild Rose are only some of the natural incense, essential oils, spa products, natural anti-mosquito repellents, and personal care products from Naturveda and Aroma Valley at Chamiers. Designed to soothe away urban stress, these softly natural products are the result of intensive research.
Whether you want the natural redolence of herbs to assist your meditation, or just let a healing scent surround you as you work, these products will lend their subtle strength to anything you do.
Tibetan Tranquility
Take home your own Thangka painting, the uniquely Tibetan tradition that evolved between the 7th and 12th centuries. Painted on canvas and mounted in silk brocade, a thangka is more than just a work of art. It is an object of devotion, an aid to spiritual practice, and a bringer of blessings.
These paintings feature numerous deities sketched according to formal iconography rules laid down by generations of Tibetan masters; paints made from natural stone pigments; and details in pure gold. The creation of a thangka painting involves skill and care at each stage and displays meticulous detail and exquisite artisanship. You will develop a special relationship with the one you take home.
