Chabahil, Kathmandu · since 2057 BS
Three generations. One bench in Chabahil.
Kalika Jewellery has been making hallmark gold and 925 silver for Chabahil families since 2057 BS — passed from father to son to son, with the same rule each time: real weight, real purity, a fair word.
2057 BS · The first bench
Ram Bahadur B.K.
First generation · Founder
In 2057 BS, Ram Bahadur B.K. opened a small workshop on a quiet lane in Chabahil. The bench was modest and the tools were old — but the rule was simple: real weight, real purity, and a fair word. He shaped his first hallmark pieces by hand for families he knew by name, and the trust he earned at that workbench is the foundation Kalika still stands on.
The next hand
Hira Lal B.K.
Second generation · Father
His son Hira Lal grew up beside that bench, watching the craft become second nature. When he took the shop forward, he kept everything his father had built and widened it — bridal ranihar, festive tilhari, and daily-wear chains. Under his hand, Kalika became a name that families across Chabahil quietly recommend to each other.
Today
Sujan Senchuri Sharma
Third generation · Today
Today the bench is carried forward by Sujan Senchuri Sharma. The values are unchanged — hallmark gold, daily-published rates, and weight you can verify in front of you. What's new is the shop window: a website that shows the price calculated the same way it would be on the counter — gold, making, wastage, tax, all in plain numbers. Three generations, one craft. Welcome to Kalika.
