Cauvery, Karnataka State Arts & Crafts Emporium

One stop shop for all your silk and sandalwood needs. It’s one of the 2 government emporiums which ensures the quality of the goods. The staff is helpful and has in-depth knowledge about all the items in the emporium whether it’s the sarees or perfumery.

You can purchase authentic sandalwood, powder, agarbathis and soaps. They also have art and craft materials, wooden chairs/sofa/tables made of rosewood and sandal (costlier like 50k/1L but seems authentic though). The sandalwood powder and fragrance items are a hit costing around Rs.100. You can park your car in front of the shop. The popular fragrance items are available for online purchase in their website.

Good stock sandalwood items. Textiles are a bit expensive probably because of the silk that is used. Sarees start at 3500, pure silk starts at 16,000. Shawls start at 4000 approx.

Good place for agarbatti, sandalwood powder, loban and other Puja items of sandalwood.

Best place to buy all the stuff. Very cheap as compared to outside shops. Only 2 branches are there in mysore all other are fake.

The only legit place to buy amazing sandalwood, brass and other special metal items. Priced well, great service. Person at the counter is very helpful :)

Billing process could be slow and painful as it's manual and there are multiple sub departments inside the shop for price calculations.

Authorised shop for perfumes, sandal soaps, wooden artefacts in Mysuru. Be prepared to pay GST and Packing charges

A good and trustful shop for purchasing sandalwood items in Mysore managed by the state govt. Prices are moderate but not so cheap as the item is having good value. Rest go and explore yourself to get the feel

A bit on the costlier side Bt the collection is vast!!

A government of Karnataka enterprise. A must visit place for handicrafts and wooden carvings. Authentic MSIL(another Government of Karnataka enterprise). Reasonably priced as compared with other private players. At least the prices are not inversely proportional to your bargaining skills which is the case with private handicrafts dealers.

You get beautiful hand crafted art pieces here. Dining table, Mantapa, different wood carvings of elephants, sandal wood items etc

It's is a government authorised shop for buying artifacts and sandalwood.. the place is full of amazing goods and art... They charge 12% gst on each good so when you buy something take this into consideration. Also you will see the antic wood carving art in different forms like painting, jewellery box, swings, dining tables and wide variety of show pieces. This place is very near to medical collage of mysore.

An old store with good collection of wooden decors, sandalwood is a hot pick. Should advance the billing system.

Cauvery emporium is an authentic place to get sandalwood products. All the sandalwood items here are seasoned and are of the highest quality. This is a government handled outlet and hence the prices are fair also. This is the must go to store for anyone searching for authentic sandalwood products.

Genuine marvellous handicrafts of Karnataka are available at the Cauvery Handicrafts Emporium. It is a unit of Karnataka State Handicrafts Development Corporation. It works towards the preservation, development and promotion of the cultural and heritage of Karnataka.
