The Dying Thathera Craft of Jandiala Guru, Amritsar
Kudos to Maharaja Ranjit Singh for giving India the honour of having the Thatheras' craft of making copper and brass utensils as the first Indian living traditional art to be listed under UNESCO’s List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). However, this art is facing extinction, despite its exclusive listing in Dec 2015 . The history of the Thatheras can be traced back to over 200 years, when the craftsmen colony was established during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who encouraged skilled metal workers, to settle in his kingdom. Jandiala Guru became a bustling mandi for brass and copper utensils. To date, Jandiala Guru remains a crafts village. At one time there were 500 Thatheras in Jandiala Guru. Today 30 remain. In 2017 UNITED SIKHS made a short documentary film to help revive this dying art. Watch the film at the link below on why this art is dying. ____ FOLLOW US on Social Media : UNITED SIKHS TV UK Instagram : bit.ly/3jA5EcL UNITED SIKHS UK Twitter : bit.ly/3kWN4vN UNITED SIKHS - UK Facebook : bit.ly/3rGNGqT UNITED SIKHS TV UK Youtube : bit.ly/3eTprk2 JOIN us as a VOLUNTEER / INTERN : bit.ly/3yLsBhH
