Dehradun: There is a shop in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, which is not just a clothes shop but a center of culture and VVIP honors. We are talking about the city’s historical shop Khushiram Kapoor and Sons, which was established in the year 1948. This shop not only offers a variety of fine shawls, but is also a major source of shawls that are gifted to the country’s top dignitaries visiting Uttarakhand.
Suresh Kapoor tells that shawls have been a symbol of honor and respect for centuries. Covering a respected person with a shawl has been a way of expressing deep intimacy and respect in Indian tradition. This exclusive shop of Dehradun carries forward this tradition. Whenever any VIP or state guest visits Uttarakhand, he receives shawls presented by the state government or other dignitaries from this shop.
The shop was started right after independence
Started just after independence, this shop has closely witnessed many important moments of the political and social history of Uttarakhand. Even today, this shop is touching new fashion and quality standards while maintaining its old identity. The shawls presented to VVIPs are selected with utmost care. These shawls often have designs inspired by Pahari folk art, as seen when President Draupadi Murmu was presented with a shawl made of Kandali fibres.
