Demand for brass utensils is rising in anticipation of Diwali and Chhath, with the village of Pera, 40 km from Patna, renowned for its traditional manufacturing.
The market for brass utensils is heating up as Diwali and Chhath celebrations approach, with retailers reporting a sharp uptick in orders.
Pera, a village situated roughly 40 kilometres from Patna in Bihar, has long been known as a hub for brassware production. The area’s artisans have preserved age‑old techniques that give their products a distinctive shine and durability.
Workshops in Pera begin early in the morning, where raw brass is melted in large furnaces, poured into moulds, and then polished by hand. Each piece undergoes a meticulous finishing process that includes cleaning, polishing, and sometimes engraving, ensuring that the final product meets the high standards demanded by buyers.
The surge in demand not only boosts sales for local craftsmen but also supports ancillary businesses such as raw material suppliers, transporters, and small‑scale retailers, contributing to the region’s economy during the festive season.
