Aura Pottery was initially just a hobby for Anuja Lath, the owner of this pottery farm, which later turned into a residential pottery learning place.
Talking about Aura, she mentioned, “The idea was born when on a trip to Palampur, I experienced pottery for the first time in 2015. Thereafter a trip to Gaya Ceramics in Bali, Indonesia, motivated me to develop the place more and more as a learning center specifically for pottery”.
