Dhakeswari Bastralaya: A Legacy of Excellence in Sarees

Established in 1925 by the visionary Kshetra Mohan Saha in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh), Dhakeswari Bastralaya quickly became a beloved saree shop, named after the famous Dhakeswari Temple. Catering to the Bengali community with premium sarees at reasonable prices, the shop thrived until 1946, when communal tensions led the Saha family to relocate to Calcutta (now Kolkata).

In 1947, they reopened at Rash Behari Avenue, Gariahat, and over the decades, Dhakeswari Bastralaya has become one of Bengal's oldest and most trusted saree shops. Our commitment to high quality and trust has earned us a loyal customer base spanning generations, both in India and overseas.

We offer finely handcrafted sarees, blouses, shawls and jewellery continuously adapting to the evolving tastes and trends of our customers. Today, our e-commerce presence allows us to reach a wider audience, with the business successfully run by the fourth generation of the Saha family.
