Preserving the tradition
Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, known as "Pital Nagri" or "Brass City," boasts a rich legacy in brass manufacturing. With a history spanning over 5,000 years, the city's brass craft was introduced to India by the Mughals in the 16th century. Moradabad quickly became a center for brass production, renowned for its durability and versatility. The city's brass industry gained significant momentum in the 18th century when the British East India Company began large-scale orders for export. During the 19th century, under the patronage of Nawab Murad Ali, the industry flourished further. Nawab Murad Ali supported local artisans, enhancing their techniques and promoting intricate designs, detailed engraving, and Minakari (enameling) art. This demand continued to rise throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, solidifying Moradabad's position as a major hub for brassware. Today, Moradabad remains a leading manufacturer of brass products, over 4,000 metal manufacturers employing over 100,000 workers. The city continues to thrive, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary designs, and remains integral to India’s brass industry and economy
