Kansara Ni Pol
Kansara Ni Pol
Situated in the old city of Ahmedabad, Kansara ni Pol is a community of copper vessel makers. In the olden times, copper vessels were used for domestic purposes like storing water and cooking food. It was also used in auspicious occasions like marriages and during festive rituals. The tradition of using copper vessels in these auspicious occasions has been carried to the modern times, but its usage in domestic purposes has been replaced by other materials.
Since the usage of copper vessels is limited to special occasions, need for their production decreased. This caused the community to move to other professions and places.
