Varanasi, or Kashi, is a city of lights, ghats, and beautiful traditions. Walk down its narrow lanes, and you will hear the sound of hammers on silver. This is where Gulabi Meenakari comes to life.
Gulabi Meenakari is a rare art of painting on pure silver using pink colors. Expert artists paint delicate motifs, mostly flowers and birds, onto the metal. It is an original art of Varanasi and holds a proud GI-Tag (Geographical Indication). This tag proves that the art belongs strictly to this historic city. At Gulabi Kashi, we bring this timeless luxury directly from the ghats to your modern home.
