9 centuries ago, in Kolhapur - a small town in Maharashtra, King Bijjala asked his cobblers to design him a shoe. The craftsmen produced a masterpiece which could survive a 1000 years. A slipper that never brought its wearer any aches. A work of art that took from the name of the town…the Kolhapuri chappal.

And till today, the Kolhapuri chappal makers keep their craft alive. A lineage that has passed on for 850 years. Mother, wife, husband and child…an entire family comes together to make a single slipper. The chappals are not only the legacy of Kolhapur, but her pride and identity. A gift that takes her story from Maharashtra to all of India, and the world.

Virtual Bharat. A 1000 film journey, one story at a time.
