Our story
India Rare began as a family passion for books and crafts that mainstream retail overlooked. Today we connect collectors, readers, and households with authentic pieces from across India.
Authentic · Genuine · Rare
We are not an aggregator of anonymous listings. Each category — books, statues, jewellery, kids essentials, online puja, and ayurveda — is curated with the same care we use when buying for our own home.
India Rare was founded to give Indian language books, ritual objects, and artisan work the visibility they deserve. Many of our titles are out of print or hard to source; many of our crafts come from workshops we have visited in person.
Whether you are building a personal library, preparing for a festival, or gifting something meaningful, we aim to make discovery simple and trustworthy — with clear descriptions, honest pricing, and support that answers like a neighbour, not a ticket number.

Delivery network
Six principles guide every listing, shipment, and conversation with our community.
We work directly with publishers, artisans, and trusted suppliers so every piece meets the standard we would bring home to our own family.
Orders are packed and checked by a small team in Delhi — not a faceless warehouse. Questions reach a real person who knows the catalogue.
From Hindi and Urdu first editions to Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Punjabi treasures — we help collectors find what mainstream stores never list.
From our family to yours
Thank you for choosing India Rare. When you shop with us, you support small makers, regional publishers, and the living traditions we grew up with — and we do not take that trust lightly.
