Story Behind the Art:

'Hello, my name is Krishna Chandra Sharma and I was born in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The art of making brass artifacts originated in my hometown. At least one in every family there is engaged in this profession. Many years ago, people from China, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc. came here to impart this art. Our villagers learned from them and this tradition has been passed on from generation to generation. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of this rich tradition. My constant contact with various artisans has taught me the technique. The art of making these brass artifacts is very demanding and needs a lot of attention and labor.
