It was neither splendor nor aesthetics that attracted royal patronage for
Bidri craft. In fact, it was the earthy, but yet artistic process and the
quaint range of products with majestic contours that evoked a passion for
the craft among the rulers of Bahamani dynasty, the Moguls and the Nobles
of Hyderabad.
The craft named after its place of origin, Bidar (now in Karnataka),
flourished due to royal patronage over the centuries and to date, it
continues to hold a unique place both from the historic perspective and
the present perception. Zealously guarded by its practitioners, Bidri art
expressed the experiences of the Sufis, the aesthetic values of the Moguls
and the yearning of the warriors to decorate their ornaments of valor.
From the traditional decorated handles for swords, shields, daggers, Bidri
craft has adapted to the changing tastes and requirements of the day.
From elegantly designed jugs, jars and flower vases with aesthetic and
traditional appeal to cufflinks, jewellery, ash trays and other utility
items, Bidri craft has an enchanting range to cater to a wide variety of
tastes and requirements.
