A town with money and little time
Engineers, plant staff and contractors work long shifts. Many of their families moved here from other states. They want to order from local shops on their phones and get things delivered home.
What Raigarh can sell online
- Kosa silk sarees and stoles from local looms.
- Dhokra metal figures made by artisans around Ekatal.
- Clothing and footwear for families in the plant colonies.
- Sweets and gift boxes for festivals.
- Kathak costumes and ghungroo for dance students.
What the store does not do — one order, one address
Before Diwali, companies around Raigarh send gift boxes to many staff homes. They ask whether one order can be split and delivered to fifty addresses.
The store does not send one order to several addresses. Each order has a single delivery address.
For bulk gifting, take the address list on WhatsApp, agree the price and deliver the boxes yourself. Or ship everything to the company office in one go, and let the office hand them out.
Dhokra from Ekatal
Dhokra figures are cast by hand using an old lost-wax method, so no two pieces are the same. Say this on the page. Give the height and weight, show the piece from all sides, and name the artisan's village.
Kosa sarees with honest details
Kosa has a soft natural gold colour. Shoot in daylight, show the border and pallu up close, and say clearly whether each saree is pure Kosa or a blend.
Kathak students and Chakradhar Samaroh
Dance schools in Raigarh and across India need costumes, dupattas and ghungroo. A small "dance wear" category with sizes and clear photos can bring orders from students far away, especially before shows and the festival.
Plant colonies and delivery
Families in the plant townships order groceries, clothes and gifts. Set a small delivery charge for the town and free delivery above a set bill. Write your delivery area clearly.
Festivals
Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Chhath and the wedding season are busy times. Put festive stock online early and give past buyers a coupon for their next order.
Shipping across India
Sarees and Dhokra pieces travel well with good packing. On Pro and Elite, Shiprocket books the courier and sends the buyer tracking on WhatsApp.
Payments
Razorpay takes UPI, cards and net banking. COD suits local orders; partial COD on Pro and Elite takes an advance on costly sarees and crafts. A GST invoice is made for every order.
Packing crafts safely
Wrap each metal figure in thick bubble wrap and pack it tightly so it cannot move in the box. Add a small card about the craft. Buyers love the story.
Suppliers to the plants
Shops selling safety shoes, workwear and tools to plant workers can list items with sizes and prices, so supervisors order for their teams without a visit.
Kharsia and nearby markets
Traders in Kharsia, Gharghoda and Tamnar buy from Raigarh shops. A website lets them see stock and prices before they travel, and order small lots in between visits.
Gifts for families back home
Many plant workers come from other states. They like sending Kosa stoles or Dhokra pieces home as gifts. A store that ships across India makes this easy, with the gift sent straight to their parents' address.
Photos at the loom
A photo of the weaver at the loom or the Dhokra artisan at work tells buyers the piece is real. Add one such photo to each craft page.
Search terms
People search "Kosa silk saree online", "Dhokra art buy" and "Kathak ghungroo online". Use the product and place in titles. Clean links and an automatic sitemap help each page get found.
