Our History

URU: The 'perfection' of Indian architecture Dhow visualized the quality and market of Indian sculpture. Foreign travelers and traders including Arabs, Africans, and Europeans were amazed by the perfect handicraft. The carpentry applied in dhow outlined their capability and credibility and that eventually resulted in mass production. If there is one image that could accurately portray the maritime culture of the Indian Ocean, it must be the dhow. For several thousand years this wooden vessel, using the monsoon, has circulated around the Indian Ocean incessantly, conveying goods and people between the Swahili coast, the coast of Arabia, Iran and India, and even as far as the East Indiana and China
