About this marketplace

India Rare is an independent cultural marketplace that helps collectors, families, and enthusiasts access rare and significant Indian items — original books, brass and stone statues, handcrafted jewellery, kids' essentials, ayurvedic products, and online pooja & prasad services. We do not manufacture the books or works themselves; we source, curate, and resell them.

Intellectual property

We make no claim of ownership, authorship, or intellectual property rights over any book, publication, or work listed on this site. All such rights remain with their respective authors and publishers. Where a listing names an author or publisher, that attribution is presented for the buyer's information only.

Reseller status

We operate solely as a lawful reseller and intermediary. Books and printed works are sourced through legitimate supply channels and offered only in their original physical form under applicable laws, including the first-sale doctrine. We do not reproduce, digitize, scan, or distribute pirated content.

Cultural heritage items

Statues, ritual items, and devotional objects are sold as cultural artefacts for personal or family use. They are not certified antiques unless explicitly described as such on the listing.

Ayurveda & consumables

Ayurvedic items and prasad are food / wellness products. They are not medicine, are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and should not replace professional medical advice. Consult a qualified practitioner before using any ayurvedic preparation, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on prescribed medication.

Online pooja & prasad services

Online pooja bookings are facilitated by India Rare on behalf of partner pandits and temples. We pass on bookings in good faith; the actual ritual is performed by the partner, and we do not warrant any spiritual outcome.

Good-faith cooperation

Our mission is cultural preservation — to organise and showcase India's heritage, not to exploit it. If any author, publisher, artisan, or rights holder has concerns about a listing, please write to us and we will review and act in good faith.
