Meet Pundlik, a potter from Kanahpur, Belgaum in Karnataka, who turned to pottery in 2018—not just as a craft, but as a means to support his family. What began as a necessity has now become his life’s work. Today, Pundlik and his family are dedicated full-time to preserving and practicing Belgaum pottery—a lesser-known but deeply rooted tradition of the region.
Each piece they create is shaped with care, purpose, and quiet pride. Through their hands, the red earth of Belgaum finds new life in the form of timeless, handmade vessels.
At Akkaara, we are committed to telling their stories—because every artisan deserves to be seen, not just for their skill, but for the life they’ve built around it. Share Pundlik’s story and support the journey of Belgaum pottery—because when we support handmade, we support people.
