Your Impact

Every year, about 8.8 million metric tonnes of plastic enter the oceans from land. Plastic is the cause behind the death of a multitude of endangered species across the oceans and it is imperative to switch to a plastic-free lifestyle. Your decision to make a simple lifestyle switch can go a long way in paving the way for a greener future. 

Why We Like It

Udayagiri cutlery is known for its intricate carvings and fine proportions and is made by a few master craftspersons of the region. The craft probably originated during the time of the Quli Qutub Shah kings. The carvings are on wood sourced locally, from forests in and around Udayagiri, be it Nardi, Devadari, Bikki Chakka, Kaldi chakka or Palabarki. The most commonly used wood is from Nardi as it is very soft and easy to handle. Wooden logs are collected from nearby Durgampalli hills at Udayagiri. The product range includes spoons, forks, salad bowls, etc. Smaller spoons or pallis are made from Nardi and Bikki wood. Bigger spoons and forks are made out of harder wood called kaldi. They are used to serve curry and rice. The cutlery traces its influence to Persian motifs and forms making it an excellent gifting option as well!
