Varanasi, or Kashi, is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is famous for its beautiful ghats, holy river, and rich culture. But hidden in the narrow lanes of this ancient city is a rare art form called Gulabi Meenakari.
This is the art of coloring pure silver with bright pink enamel paints. It started hundreds of years ago during the Mughal era. Today, Gulabi Meenakari from Varanasi has a official GI-Tag. This means it is recognized by the government as an authentic art form that belongs only to Varanasi.
