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.
Manufacturing Process
- Designing
- Concept Creation: Artisans start by developing a design often inspired by traditional patterns or modern trends.
- Pattern Making: Detailed patterns are drawn to guide the entire production process.
- Casting
- Mould Preparation: Molds are created from sand or clay based on the design patterns.
- Melting Brass: Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is melted in a furnace.
- Pouring: The molten brass is carefully poured into the moulds to form the basic shape.
- Cooling: The cast brass is left to cool and solidify.
- Shaping and Trimming
- Removing from Mold: Once cooled, the brass items are removed from the moulds.
- Trimming: Excess material and rough edges are cut to refine the shape.
- Hammering and Forming
- Hand Hammering: Skilled artisans use hammers to shape and smooth the brass, adding intricate details.
- Annealing: The brass is heated and cooled to make it easier to work with.
- Engraving and Embossing
- Hand Engraving: Artisans use fine tools to engrave detailed designs onto the brass surface.
- Embossing: Techniques are used to create raised patterns on the brass.
- Polishing
- Initial Polishing: The brass is polished manually to smooth the surface.
- Final Polishing: Fine abrasives and compounds, such as colour buffing, achieve a high-gloss finish.
- Enameling (Minakari)
- Applying Enamel: Vibrant colours of enamel are applied to the engraved designs, and small motifs are stamped on matte-finish products.
- Firing: The item is fired in a kiln to fuse the enamel with the brass.
- Quality Control
- Inspection: Each item is carefully inspected for quality and accuracy.
- Adjustments: Final touch-ups are made as needed.
- Packaging
- Protective Packaging: Finished products are packed to prevent damage during transport.
- Labelling: Items are labelled with product information and sometimes the history of Moradabad brass work.
