Our Story
Celestial Yak began with a simple irritation. Good wall art in India was either a flimsy sheet that curled within a month, or a framed print that cost more than the furniture beneath it. We wanted the middle that did not exist: museum-weight paper, a finish that survives monsoon humidity and curious fingers, and a price that lets you fill a whole wall instead of rationing one frame.
The language of art is celestial in origin, and can only be understood by the chosen.
The name
The yak carries weight at altitudes where nothing else can, and it does so without complaint. That felt like the right animal for a print house that cares more about paper weight than hype. Celestial, because the first things we ever drew were star charts.
What we make
300 GSM art card
Roughly twice the weight of an ordinary poster. It hangs flat and stays flat.
BOPP lamination
A heat-bonded film in Matte or Gloss. Scratch-resistant, wipe-clean and colour-fast.
One size: 13 × 19″
Every print is Super A3, so a gallery wall lines up without a tape measure.
Where the art comes from
- Atelier Originals are drawn in-house as vector artwork — star charts plotted from real stellar coordinates, Himalayan ridgelines, sacred geometry — so every line stays sharp at print size.
- Devotional and folk art is composed for the Indian home: for the mandir wall, the study and the entrance.
- Old Masters are drawn from works in the public domain — Van Gogh, Hokusai, Klimt and the Dutch still-life painters.
How we price
Every poster is ₹99. Mix any designs: delivery is ₹69 for one or two posters, ₹49 for three or four, and free from five. Ten posters are ₹899. We would rather you hang ten prints than deliberate over one.
The promise
Orders are printed and dispatched within 24–48 hours in a rigid triangular mailer that does not roll off conveyor belts or crush in transit. If a print still arrives damaged, send us a photograph within 48 hours and we reprint it free.
