Preserving Cultural Tradition
Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, known as "Pital Nagri" or "Brass City," has a rich legacy in brass manufacturing that dates back over 5,000 years. The Mughals introduced brass craft to India in the 16th century, and the city quickly became a centre for production. The industry flourished in the 18th century due to orders from the British East India Company and further developed under Nawab Murad Ali, who supported local artisans and intricate designs. Today, Moradabad is a leading brass manufacturer, with over 4,000 metal businesses employing more than 100,000 workers, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern designs.
