Banaras Gulabi Meenakari Craft

Varanasi, one of the world's oldest cities, is renowned for its Banaras Gulabi Meenakari, a unique art form featuring pink enamel strokes on white metal surfaces. Originally applied to gold, this delicate technique now adorns silver and copper, showcasing intricate motifs like lotus blooms. Generations of artisans create religious figures, traditional ornaments, and decorative items using this distinctive pink enamel, derived from the word "gulab" (rose).
