A factory building with tall windows under a blue sky

Established 1951 · Hathras

Seventy-five years of colour, spice and craft.

A family of businesses in festival colours, spices and dry fruits, based in Hathras since 1951.

Who we are

One family. Three companies. A 75-year craft.

It began in 1951 with a shop in Hathras that ground hing, colour and gulal, and a family that decided to make what it sold. Generations on, the same craft runs through three companies — festival colour and play, asafoetida, and dry fruit.

The colour works are in Hathras, the moulding works in Faridabad, the registered office in New Delhi. The goods reach more than ten thousand dealers across India and buyers in over ten countries.
