about craft
Odisha’s Bell Metal Craft, made from the copper-tin alloy known as Kansa, is shaped through a labor-intensive hand-beating process that gives the metal its strength and smooth finish. Traditionally used for eating and cooking, Kansa utensils are believed to support better digestion and overall well-being, making them a valued part of everyday life and age-old food practices.
