Cast bronze lamps used in temple worship across Karnataka, made by traditional metal-casting families.
Understand
Karnataka's bronze-casting families have supplied temples with oil lamps, bells and ritual vessels for generations, using techniques rooted in the region's long tradition of metal image-making.
Craftsmen use the lost-wax casting method — sculpting a wax model, encasing it in clay, then melting out the wax and pouring in molten bronze — followed by hand-finishing and polishing.
