I am a collector of artefacts especially statues ... and I must say I was very fortunate to stumble upon this shop on Facebook and managed to contact the owner Sriya..They have very unusual and beautiful statues of ancient gods and kings which are priced very reasonably. The owners are a kind couple who make sure the goods are delivered to you undamged and speedily. I hope one day I can visit their shop in Kandy.

4. Jayamali Batiks Studio
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 414 reviews
Some Guides and Drivers could try to recommend you another batik shop by saying that my shop is closed today or difficult to find, etc;. Please do not believe such people. Please call me or use Google map to find my store easily. My shop is situated inside the Kandy Central Market which is opposite the Kandy Clock Tower and it is not difficult to find as it is a well known local market in Kandy. The shop is open from 9.00am to 6.00pm every day. In case if the shop is closed, please call me or get a free call from the shop which is next to mine as it is a pleasure to open my store for you within next 20 minutes. Jayamali Batiks Studio, one of the most famous batik studios in Kandy, was founded in 1979 by Jayakody. He discovered his talent to create unique batik wall hangings and started the business with very few means at his home as a family business. His unique style of designing modern, artistic and unusual designs to a very high quality fascinated the foreign guests who visited his studio.

I visited Jayamali batik studio during my visit to Kandy this May mid with my husband. We had called him before visiting as we wanted to understand the directions to his shop. He was very very patient with explaining us the way multiple times as somehow we had lost our sense of direction (we had THE most relaxing vacation in the beautiful Sri Lanka so...don't judge!!) He also updated us that he had stepped out of the studio but his friend at next shop will assist us. Which he did! Once we reached his studio, only one word can describe my experience there - AMAZING! His shop is decorated with all of his beautiful samples of exquisitely made Batiks. You will not see the usual ones made with maximum two or three colours (which I did see in other shops later on). His creations are very different. The number of colours he uses in one piece are many so that gives the first impression that he's a true artist and is not just making them for mass tourist attraction. Secondly there were so many different designs to chose from - fit to match all tastes. For me it was honestly a hard decision to choose one design. His friend was very patient in opening up all the designs for me. Also it made a perfectly unique gift for my friends and family back home. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to meet him, although if I had more time, he very kindly did inform me that he was on his way. It was truly my highlight of the day and I will recommend Jayamali Batik studio to anyone hands down!! Yes you will find many shops selling batik in kandy, but once you actually see his work you will truly know the difference. Most of the shops I stopped at later in my trip did have pieces which were of mediocre quality plus only had three colours maximum. Batik is an art form which looks the best and in my opinion honoured when you can see in actual the time the artist spends on one creation! I found this here, and I only wish him the best!

Worth a visit - though be sure you have space in your suitcase as you will want to take something home! Lovely family who showed us how the colours are made from the different woods. No danger of finding a 'made in china' label on your souvenir if you buy something here.

We bought custom made jewellery made from local gems and are absolutely delighted. The whole experience was helpful and not pushy so we bought more pieces as gifts and some other gifts from the shop. The couple who run the shop are lovely people and we thoroughly recommend visiting them. They are the next business along the beach from the Club Hotel Dolphin.
