Description

In India, the elephant has always been a symbol of auspiciousness, wisdom, and abundance. Lord Ganesha rides one. Laxmi is flanked by them. In the royal courts of Rajasthan, no procession was complete without the magnificent elephant leading the way. This Elephant Chowki brings that same energy to your home.

About the Craft

Shaped from solid Kadamb wood by artisan families in Udaipur, this low stool is carved and painted in the form of an elephant — the full body forming the seat, the legs forming the base, the trunk emerging from the front. The folk art painting follows the Rajasthani tradition of bold outline, flat colour, and meticulous surface patterning. The top is sturdy enough to sit on or use as a plant stand or side table.

Vastu Tip

An elephant is deeply auspicious in Vastu Shastra, particularly near the entrance with the trunk raised — the traditional position for inviting prosperity. The Elephant Chowki works beautifully in the north-east corner or near the main entrance. An elephant in the north direction is associated with career growth and stability. Avoid placing it in the bedroom.

Perfect For

  • Living rooms and entrances as an auspicious, attention-commanding piece
  • As a plant stand or side accent table in a Rajasthani or eclectic interior
  • Children’s rooms where folk art and cultural symbolism meet functional furniture
  • Housewarming and Griha Pravesh gifts — an elephant is one of the most auspicious objects for a new home
  • Anyone who loves bold, handcrafted statement furniture with a story

Why Premloom Envision?

You will find similar-looking decor in many online stores. Here is the difference: every Premloom piece is made by a named artisan family in Udaipur, Rajasthan. No factories, no resellers, no mass production. When you order, a real craftsperson goes to work. The slight variation in grain, colour, or finish is not a defect — it is the signature of handmade work. Your piece will never be identical to anyone else’s. That is what you are paying for.

Kadamb Wood Hand-Carving

Handcrafted in Udaipur, Rajasthan

Material

Kadamb wood (Neolamarckia cadamba), natural lacquer

The craft: Kadamb wood is soft enough to carve in fine detail but durable enough to last generations. Artisans begin with a rough block, sketch the form in chalk, then work through progressively finer chisels over several hours — sometimes days for complex pieces. The lacquer finish is applied by hand in multiple coats.

The People Behind It

Our core Kadamb wood carving families are based in the old city of Udaipur, where this craft has been practised for over 500 years. Premloom works directly with 12+ artisan families — no middlemen — ensuring fair wages and complete creative freedom for the craftspeople behind every piece.
