Art – Metal Art

In the quiet village of Nirona in Kutch, Gujarat, Alibhai is preserving a centuries-old tradition that sings-literally. He is a master artisan of handcrafted copper bells, a skill passed down through generations and kept alive by sheer dedication and craftsmanship.

Using no molds or modern machinery, each bell is shaped by hand, coated with copper, fired in a kiln, and carefully tuned to produce its own distinctive sound. No two bells are alike-each carries its own tone, rhythm, and soul.

From temple rituals to livestock harnesses, and now as international decor, Alibhai’s bells echo far beyond Nirona. They are not just functional pieces-they’re symbols of artistic expression, musical heritage, and cultural legacy.
