The works done here are not only exceptionally delicate but also very precious. Meenakari divides to Meena which means Colorful stone and Kari which means Artwork. The art work introduces beautiful ornamental designs, by moulding the metal into eye catching pieces of art.

But what makes it unique is the lustrous colour and intricate hand painted floral patterns on it. These colours involve indigenous artistic and scientific treatments. They are extractions of the various precious minerals, stones and metals. Especially the Pink colour is created out of gold through oriental technique by mixing them with precious stones

You may find very few artisans at their home based studios around Gai ghat.
