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.
