The hand-made metal(Brass) Craft of Bangladesh has developed its industry
mainly in Dhamrai reserving the traditional craftsmanship alive for
years. The article is written after an exploration to the place.
Getting down at the last bust stoppage of Dhamrai named Dullibhita,we hired a van and started for the RothMela Bazaar where the handmade metal craft industry is located. Every year the largest RothMela, a traditional Hindu festival of Bangladesh takes place there. We found last years colourful Roth there and the next one is getting manufactured.
The van crossed the Bazaar and was running on the street through the pleasant surroundings of an old town.We stopped in front of a Metal Workshop.
The outlook of the workshop is like an aged palace or 'Jamidarbari'. We went inside and found it is both a workshop and the residence of the owner. Artists and workers working inside the workshop, an old woman and a Purohit doing preparations of a Hindu prayer(Puja)at one side of the home yard.
According to the metal craft artists in Dhamrai the brass crafts in Bangladesh are manufactured in two processes- Lost Wax Process and Hollow Process.
