Nestled between the bustling metropolis of New Delhi and the majestic foothills of the Himalayas, Moradabad stands as a historic gem, steeped in centuries of artisanal excellence. Known as the *Brass City of India*, this cultural treasure has been a flourishing center of metal craftsmanship since the Mughal era, where master artisans transform brass, copper, and aluminum into exquisite works of art. Wandering through Moradabad’s vibrant markets, one encounters a mesmerizing array of hand-etched vases, filigree trays, and intricate lanterns—each piece a testament to generations of skill and tradition. Here, blacksmiths continue to forge with the same time-honored tools as their ancestors, preserving techniques that have defined the city’s legacy. While modernization has expanded its reach to global markets, Moradabad remains a bastion of India’s rich handicraft heritage, where artistry and tradition endure in every finely wrought detail.
