Kalamkari prints

Where in NYC or online can I find Indian kalamkari (or Persian chalamkari) prints, on tablecloths, linen and other home deco textiles?

There used to be a store on Columbus Ave and 83rd-ish, I think called Ponticeri, which was recently closed. Oh, why, why? I cannot find information on them relocating elsewhere and Google is unresponsive on similar shops in the area. There are some online order sites I perused but nothing like what Ponticeri carried.

I like the vibrant colors, paint-brush style designs and the cotton textiles that kalamkari or similar techniques have, so where can I find them in NYC or online, hive mind? Many Thanks.

Best answer: Actually, the store was called Pondicherri. I walked by it all the time and window shopped. Great stuff. I found this website that might be related?
