Preserving Cultural Tradition (Kandkari)
The unparalleled artistry and profound cultural heritage of Kashmir have brought the region international renown. From the rugs' undersides to the pashminas' threads to the copperware's lustre. The most exquisite and unadulterated kind of art has come to us from Kashmir. Copperware, also known as kandkari work, has a long and illustrious history that begins in the 8th century with the travels of the Islamic philosopher and saint Mir Syed Ali Hamdani (RA) from Central Asia to India. Not only was he an accomplished scholar, but he was also a charming art lover, particularly of etched copperware. He transferred masters of this technique from Central Asia, particularly Persia, to India so that it may flourish there and become popular among the inhabitants; they would then teach the locals how to do the same enchanted magic and disseminate it throughout the region. But this skill had strong backing under the rule of the great Kashmiri king Budshah Zain-ul-Abideen, who was also an active catalyst and pioneer in bringing the craft back to its former glory. Since then, Kashmir has been forever grateful to this skill for elevating the reputation of the state.
