A Living Heritage House

A century-old Srinagar home revived for craft, community, and contemporary luxury.

AABYARI is a restored, century-old Kashmiri home transformed into a living haven of craft, culture, and community in the heart of Srinagar's old city.

Set near Maharaj Gunj, the house honours Kashmir's shawl-making legacy while bringing guests close to the living practices of weaving, sozni embroidery, cuisine, music, and storytelling.

True to its name - to water or to nurture - AABYARI supports a creative ecosystem where craftspeople grow, innovate, and create exceptional works of art.
