This Copper Enamelled (Minakari) Rakhi can interchangably be used as a Wearable charm which you can keep wearing on and on and on.
Celebrate the Love that binds a brother and sister with this beautiful Rakhi from Western Maharashtra. This handcrafted rakhi will leave you in awe of the artisans who have created it. It fuses glass powder onto the bright copper surface which not only adds rich colour, but also prevents it from oxidizing so that you can cherish this for many more years. This technique, known as enamelling, is a near extinct craft, wherein the glass powder is laid onto the copper surface in the requisite patterns and the assembly is heated to 800°C, at which point the powdered glass melts to form a coat on the copper surface.
This rakhi collection is brought to you by Ekibeki. Ekibeki is a social enterprise working with artisans to save age-old crafts which are on the verge of extinction.
