Rewari Brassware Traditional Artisan Craft
Contributed by Swadesi Editorial Team
Rewari district is historically famous for its thathera brassware and bell-metal craft, with hereditary artisan families producing brass degchis, lotas, and decorative hookah bases using sheet metal hammering and lost-wax casting techniques. Rewari's brassware artisans operate in family workshops in the old market areas and supply Haryana's rural households, temples, and the hospitality sector with traditional cooking and serving vessels. The craft has faced competition from aluminium and stainless steel, but specialty traditional vessels for weddings, religious functions, and heritage restaurants maintain sustainable demand; Rewari brass artisans participate in national craft fairs through KVIC marketing.
