Malkauns is an offering of love and sincerity, from us to you.
Raag Malkauns
We derived our brand name from Raag Malkauns (मालकोस), one of the oldest raga in Indian classical music. It’s a slow, meditative raga, and is developed mostly in the lower octave and in a slow tempo. Played during late evening hours, Malkauns is very soothing, melodious and pleasant raga. It is said that it was recited by Goddess Parvati to calm down Lord Shiva from his Tandav, channeling his creative energy from chaos to calm. Musicians use this raga to give focus and direction to their creativity as the sheer force of creativity itself can be chaotic, which needs a structure to become productive.
Journey
It took us more than 6 months to find the fabric that we now use for Malkauns. The journey was not any lesser than a pilgrimage, where we got to meet some amazing people, artists and artisans alike. The more we went deeper into this enquiry, the more we realised that how much of such artisanal labour is being buried with each passing day under the fast paced roller of industrial development.
We’re grateful enough to have our hands on fabric that breathes life into skin, and colours that are without a doubt the most beautiful, safe and striking we have seen.
We ensure that every stakeholder involved in the process of bringing this product to you is fairly paid and drives well-being for themself through our enterprise.

Heart of Department (HoD)
Gulab Jamun
At the Heart of everything we do.
Jamun joined us in 2023 and immediately became an important part of Malkauns. He keeps us company through long workdays, inspects every new parcel with great seriousness, and occasionally reminds us that there’s more to life than fabrics, orders and spreadsheets.
He doesn’t know much about organic cotton, but he has excellent taste in people. And honestly, that’s enough.
