eDropp Kashmir Emporium   Set in the heart of the Kashmir Valley, the city of Shrinagar is dominated by the life aquatic. Dal Lake and its twisting waterways, tree-lined Nagin Lake and the Jhelum River break up the urban area. One can cruise the lakes on wooden boats called shikaras for a daytime or twilight cruise into the local culture or stroll through the terraced hillsides of the 400-year-old Mughal Gardens, created by Emperor Jehangir for his wife and shop for indigenous crafts like hand-woven silks and embroidered shawls, paper mache décor items and hand made tribal and Kashmiri bead jewelry that is soon becoming distinct as there are only six to seven craftsmen in the whole of Kashmir that remain and have the passion and patience to make jewelry this painstaking way.   Edropp is very passionate about preserving this dying craft and brings you a line up of fine Kashmiri handicrafts, leather items, jewelry, pashminas and embroidered apparels, along with Kashmiri Saffron and Spices directly from the artisan's factory to your home.
