Our Mission: Reviving the Lost Art of Indian Thatera Craft

In a world driven by speed, convenience, and mass production, the delicate art of Thatera metalcraft—once the pride of Indian households—was quietly fading away. For centuries, Thatera artisans hand-hammered brass and kansa sheets into vessels that nourished families, carried tradition, and reflected India’s unmatched craftsmanship.

But with time, machines replaced hands, trends replaced traditions, and the glow of handcrafted metalware dimmed. Entire artisan communities struggled to keep their legacy alive, as the world slowly forgot the magic their hands could create.

At Tatsatva, we could not let this art disappear.

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful dream:
to save Thatera craft from extinction and bring its beauty back into everyday life.

We travelled across artisan clusters—narrow lanes where metal echoed under skilled hammers, small workshops where techniques passed down for generations were still alive, though fighting for survival. We met families who had been shaping brass for hundreds of years, yet were unsure if the next generation would continue the craft.

Their story became our purpose.

We knew that if these craftsmen were given dignity, demand, and fair value, this art could shine again. So we decided not only to celebrate their work, but to rebuild an ecosystem around it—one that respects time-honored techniques, ensures fair livelihood, and brings their handmade brilliance to the world.

Every piece we create today is more than a utensil.
It is a revival.
A tribute to the hands that shape it.
A promise to keep this heritage alive.

By choosing handcrafted brass and kansa, you become a part of this revival—honoring the artisans, supporting their families, and helping preserve a craft recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of India.

This is not just cookware.
This is culture.
This is heritage.
This is the heartbeat of Indian Thateras—kept alive, one handcrafted utensil at a time.
