Radha Krishna Sharma is a family business founded in 1948 with branches in Kolkata and Varanasi. Until the 1980s, Radha Krishna Sharma built carefully crafted stringed instruments for discerning customers with a particularly fine high-gloss finish. After the death of its founder, the company later switched to larger quantities with lower standards.
