About
A traditional hand-hammering craft producing brass and copper utensils, recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage practice for its centuries-old hand-forming technique passed down within artisan families.
Did you know? The Thatheras' craft was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2014, one of the few Indian metalworking traditions to receive international cultural heritage recognition rather than a domestic GI tag.
