about craft

The copper bell art of Gujarat is a traditional craft practiced by the Lohar community, especially in the Kutch region. These handcrafted bells, originally used for cattle identification, are made from recycled iron sheets, coated with a unique copper-gold finish, and tuned to produce melodious sounds. The artisans use age-old techniques like hand-hammering and fire tempering, without welding. Today, these bells are popular as home décor, wind chimes, and musical instruments.
