Benares brass
text:
Benares brass is brassware from the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India. The city is located in an area naturally rich in copper—a requisite ingredient of brass. Varanasi is a pilgrimage site, as it is considered the home of the Hindu god Shiva. As a result, manufacturing of brass utensils, artifacts, antiques and devotional items has become commercially significant, and the adoption of technology and modern machines has reduced the time required to produce them.
