This book is a compilation of Bidri craft research study by students of National Institute of Design, Gandhinagar.
Bidri art derived its name from the place where it was made- Bidar in North
Karnataka, a city which was a part of the Bahmani kingdom. The craft is governed by the interplay of contrasting black and silver colours on the surface of alluring forms that represents its rich heritage. It is the coalescence of many design philosophies that flourished centering the engraving techniques of Deccan and the old Persian style since its inception.
