Our Journey
The Beginning
My parents' journey began as Nepalese immigrants to Australia, carrying with them a deep love for the rich craftsmanship of Nepal and India. Starting from small market stalls in 1990, they dreamed of sharing the beauty of our cultural heritage through authentic, handcrafted treasures.
From these beginnings grew Ganapati Home & Gifts in 2008, which today continues as DilMaya Gifts. Having worked with artisans since his youth in Nepal, my dad understood the importance of ethical partnerships and fair working conditions. Together with my mum, they built lasting relationships with skilled craftspeople, personally selecting each piece to ensure it captured the true essence of traditional techniques.
OUR JOURNEY
The Present
I am honoured to continue their legacy of supporting local Nepalese & Indian artisans and preserving age-old craftsmanship. Our curated collection of handicrafts reflects not just products, but stories of heritage, skill, and cultural connection. This spirit of partnership flows into our broader community involvement, especially through our upcoming collection that empowers skilled Nepalese women working from home, enabling them to earn an income while caring for their families. Weaving together tradition, craft, and community.
