Legacy of the Artisan [Manohar Lal ji]

Choosing to buy sustainable means empowering these artisans and reviving the traditions on the verge of extinction. When you buy the beautiful products handcrafted by them, you not only buy a product, but a piece of their rich heritage and culture! P-TAL aims at reviving the dying craft form of the indigenous Thatheras community of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar. The Thatheras of Jandiala Guru are a community of skilled craftsmen who specialize in the traditional technique of making hand crafted Brass,copper and bell metal utensils by hammering metal sheets. This unique craft of the Thatheras of Jandiala Guru in Amritsar is the first craft of India to be inscribed in the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014.
