Varanasi, or Kashi, is a city of lights, holy ghats, and beautiful traditions. In the quiet lanes of this ancient city, master artisans bring a rare art form to life. This art is Gulabi Meenakari, a royal craft of painting on pure silver.
Gulabi Meenakari is a 400-year-old art form where vivid pink colors are painted onto a white enamel base. Each piece is crafted entirely by hand, making every single item unique.
