Our story
In the quiet town of Puttur in 1944, Late Shri Muliya Keshava Bhatta laid the foundation for what would become one of Karnataka’s most cherished jewellery brands. Rooted in humility and guided by integrity, he built more than a business—he built a legacy of trust, transparency, and heartfelt service.
After his passing, his son, Shri Muliya Shyama Bhat, took up the mantle of responsibility and upheld the brand’s values with devotion and grace. Under his leadership, Muliya continued to be a name associated with honesty, tradition, and strong community ties.
In the early 2000s, the third generation—the Muliya Brothers – Keshava Prasad Muliya and Krishna Narayana Muliya—stepped in with a bold vision and modern approach. It was under their dynamic leadership that Muliya entered a phase of rapid growth and transformation. They expanded the brand’s presence across Karnataka, introduced cutting-edge technologies in jewellery authentication, launched new product lines like Amuliya and Silveriya, and unveiled Dakshina Kannada’s largest showroom in Puttur.
From a humble beginning to a state-wide presence, Muliya’s journey is a story of legacy preserved, and progress redefined—crafted with care, generation after generation.
