- Chiseling metal for an entire day is just one of the eight steps needed to make a piece of Bidri art. This craft has been carried on for centuries in one area of India, but with rising costs of raw material and a huge drop in sales during the pandemic, its future is murky.

How Metal Workers In India Are Keeping A 600-Year-Old Art Alive | Still Standing
Every Desi kid grows up with these little things in their home. I never knew how precious they were and why they were passed down for generations.
Now that you say that, i wonder how many pieces of art and decor I've not recognised as rare.
@@komal146 true
@@komal146 He wants to say that in every desi (Pak,Ind,Bang) houses these crafts were common... Not "we decor" and all
Exactly, i have one of these vase in our storage room, Which was in my home from the time of my grandmother. Its collecting dust now. I put it there bcs it wasn't matching the modern ambiance of my remodeled home. I had no idea this was so expensive and rare 🥺
I have a small vase my great uncle brought back for my grandma from his travels after WWII. It's really cool to see the story behind it.
Rare to find this kind of mindset in today's competitive world where businesses cooperating with each other to keep going. And the pricing is kept just right as well. Thank you for staying noble.
So true bikram
Very true
I think that's because these people are hardworking artisans first and not businessmen.
Which is a good thing.
Though i wish they could afford a better standard of living.
@@Nostalgia_Addictyeah, that is the difference. :)) They are true artisans so they value and love their work. The interviewee even said that they wanna keep working and just keeps the prices right. I love how they all work together as one industry instead of competing. They value their craft first and foremost. 💕
They have no competition, so not surprising at all
I feel bad when I see skilled dedicated artists underselling their products just to survive.
That's not underselling, that's proper pricing, and others should do the same
@@oijqwoijdowiqjdqw disagree
@@joffrecueva5662 nah you're just wrong, admit it
Those are pretty Good Prices in India.
You missed the part where he said he is selling at a price to just break even.
I've a couple of them at my home. Someone gave them as a gift to my father. They are atleast 12-13 years old and looks absolutely new. But I didn't know about the hard work it takes to create such a beautiful stuff. Thank you Business Insider for making this video. I hope they'll get proper recognition through this video.
Its sad that an YT channel is teaching me more about my country compared to my school.
Every thing cant teach .you must be yourself curious to explore the incredible land .afterall you were on it
Sab school me hi seekh loge kya bhau
@@xstrawarot true. But they don't teach about the half of India either
*foreign YT channel
@@indianflippingart9593 ooohhh
those art pieces are actually quite expensive in the market, unfortunately, the retailer makes most of the profit while artisans get peanuts
True that !!
Sad reality 💔
Someone needs to help them setup their own website.
The retailer purchases the raw materials, equipment, and is left with the overhead. The artisans always get paid but the business owner might not if nobody is buying. It's the owner who will lose everything if the business fails.
If you go into their website, the pieces actually aren’t expensive . They are selling a clock with beautiful work for $8 US dollars. That’s just one example.
Perfect axample of machines taking over, a machine can do that same design in much less time. Haters guna hate but thats a fact like it or not
I am from Hyderabad and they are the most beautiful artwork , need to preserve it as much as we can.
Where can we buy them ?
@@yuvaraj009 I live at Nampally , it's near Abids main road , and there are too many bidri work shops.
@@prachisaini1 are they original, and the price is reasonable or high ?
@@yuvaraj009 They are original and the price depends on the artwork n size.
@@prachisaini1 how much would they cost on an average ?
It feels more valuable when it’s handmade.
@@bidrihandicraft5471 Hi! Do you ship to the USA?
Sad to see how undervalued their art is
@@ethanstewart9970 yes sur we ship to USA
because it is. :)
The thing is the imperfections of handmade things is what makes them unique and perfect
I was born in bidar my grandfather home just near to that shop ,I used to go through that place regularly happy to see in international TH-cam channel ,hope this beautiful art spread all over the world and make this work to get indentification.
Sir my name is shyam like to meet that bidri artist please send the adress of the place

I love this series. Much respect to all artisans around the world.

Great attitude 👍
We also respect like you peoples🙂
This series shows us just how much artisans are underappreciated nowadays.
nah this series sucks
You know it’s legit artisan when they lick the soil
No, that's just backwarded.
@@philperry6564 just because a culture seems unfamiliar to you doesn't mean its backwards this is is clearly high art
@@FirstLast-fr4mx You clearly have ZERO clue about what high art is. This is on the level of a highschooler's art project, nothing more.
@@philperry6564 You've never made anything like what these craftsman make lmao.
@@codyquagmire2114 That's true. Even my first sculpture looked better than that.
If you're sad seeing these beautiful traditions dying, understand your participation to the declination. In simple terms, industrialization is the short answer to this. Try buying from local people,artists or small scale businesses. They might be a bit expensive than your industrial produce, but it saves these old traditions.
Don't hesitate and go ahead ,buy from small scale artisans and workers everytime you can.
I don't particularly feel bad.
Thier art flourished itself by ending some other form, it about time and technology.
A buyer cannot be emotionally black mailed just to keep an industry alive.
That won't cut it for long either, innovation and market competition is the only way.
@@jayeshnathani6929 You know I always find morons like you here on TH-cam.
I mean, giving a proper reply to you will be an insult to my intelligence.
Also, If someone is gay then they are gay. It cannot be changed, I hope that knowledge helps you in life when you're parents try to emotionally blackmail you into being straight.
Good luck👍🏻
@@jayeshnathani6929 Also, Picasso would be told to f*ck off if he was sitting in a back alley painting for people who don't value his art that much.
Picasso became Picasso because he sold to the right crowd at the right time in the right place.
That happens through innovation in business practice not by shouting MY CULTURE! MY CULTURE on the road, morons do that(people like you).
@@jayeshnathani6929 dude you need to stfu up like it’s kind, but not everyone is going to do it. Pure kindness will not save an industry, they need to play it smarter.
@@ishanbajpai6940 dang have never read so much mediocrity and leaking of knowledge. Picasso didn't see a peny on his life, was way after death when people realized what's now lost forever that's why his art it's so demanded, art doesn't has anything to see with human development or technological advance. It's another part of humanity but taking about that to someone so small and short minded as you will always be a waste of time breath and everything.
Their website now says they're inundated with new orders 😂 I hope we didn't overwhelm them too much.
Wait really? 😯
@@vincent5981 please update if you receive it bro
@@vincent5981 bro , please delete if you posted any bad things about them. We indians use whatsapp, fb mostly. Only few ppl in cities use apps like discord, reddit etc. Not every Indian is a scammer. Most aren't .
@@adityasanthosh702 I have deleted my comments. If you see any that i missed tell me and I remove them. And to be clear, I received my money back altough it took several months. I think they should use e-mail or at least write on the invoice that they use whats appfor communication. But they are not scammers I got my money back and I will use them to buy that chessboard i originally wanted, when they can deliver.
@@vincent5981 its still their mistake that they couldn't follow up effectively. Have a nice day Björn..
Bidri art: tight profits
Abstract art(a painting looks like someone shat on a wall): sells at million dollars.
I never understand that. People buy crap and let real artists starve.
Yeah I know 😢
It takes quite a high level of intelligence to understand abstract art, something that you obviously do not possess.
@@Cienfuegos. seems like u bought one.lolll
@@Cienfuegos. as an art student I still don’t really care about abstract art. sure the artists’ thoughts/ideation of the artwork is interesting but I don’t see the deal about the actual piece itself
Sad to see that traditional goods are declining
I mean he's right
people are about those minimalist design these days
@@Amatersuful zoomers

3:05 woah!❤️ It turned out to be more beautiful than I anticipated!
No its not
yeah...a different product
Yes, look at the chess game on their webiste. Its insane
@@Nordic_Mechanic that chessboard is insane
ikr I absolutely love color contrast. It looks elegant.
Am from Karnataka and I didn't know about this art which is in our state, thanks for the video and the men who preserving the old Art still. ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ❤️
I was completely taken aback by how beautiful the finished product is.
I live closeby to this place. I have conducted a study during my college for its revival but sadly my findings have only found that it's nearly impossible to sustain this practice once these artisans leave it. With short attention spans, their children are really reluctant to take up the craft. But thankfully, I have bought a few pieces which now adorn my room. All my guests ask about them, but buys it as they find it expensive.
So how much were the pieces you have purchased, if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks.

Being an Indian myself I've always loved these creations, may they tide over the pandemic and flourish in the future,inshallah hu tala
@pavan They ain’t a governmental institution, so what’s to give
@pavan he isn't bringing religion into it. He's just praying. Inshallah = God willing.
@pavan
You are suffering from Islamophobia......
@@RideToExploreNature i one up that if someone says god bless i bet @pavan wouldn't have a problem with it
@Pavan Kumar why do you havve a problem with that. It is our(indian) culture to associate everything with religion
I am wondering how English channel is doing real journalism and showing what govt should notice.. where as 90% indian media is corrupted and showing article to draw the attention of public from the issue which matters
This is a problem everywhere, sadly. To paraphrase an uncle of mine, if you want to learn about a country, you have to use a news source not hosted in that country.
I’m 100% aware that industrial revolution was absolutely amazing for mankind but it makes me sad that how many amazing and ancient art forms are being lost
I mean, couldnt they make it using industrial process more efficiently and market it to a wider audience? They could analyze the chemicals in the soil and create an artificial chemical. They could use alternatives for zinc with some alloys that are easier to work with but produces the same effect. Also, using more efficient techniques for putting the silver, drawing more elaborate designs using computers and printing it like what we do with paper, more efficient metallurgical process and computer generated molding etc would make it at least half as cheap as it is today and will also increase customers...
@@CoolMan-ig1ol The problem with trying to make artificial methods is that you can't add time, nor minute elements that are essential to the process. The dirt itself might be releasing certain chemicals at certain rates that affect the staining the the metal, and that's something you also have to account for. There is a maturity and complex nature about soil/dirt, let alone comparing other natural objects vs synthetic/simulated ones. There are other videos on this channel that you watch, and over time you start to understand the base concepts of why certain processes, procedures, ingredients, and sourcing are so damn important.
Take the curling rock episode. You can only get the granite from one island in one area. You can't simulate it. Other times it's plants and animals that need extremely specific environments to thrive or to develop. Some things you just can't break down into elemental forms.
All it would take is one celebrity to purchase and gush praise about their product online, and the revival could potentially benefit them for years.
I thought about exactly that! Some popular bollywood star would be enough
Yes but most probably that will not happen :(
Or a tiktok campaign.
Bollywood stars are busy adopting foreign culture South Indian stars can do it
No, it won't. It would create a certain hype for some time but after that they would be forgotten, like many social media trends. What they need is a sustainable business infrastructure from Raw materials to market and final price. The real solution would be turning this informal industry into a formal one, which is hard but only real solution.
you could easily sell such vase for 200 euro's here in europe
Problem is they don't have execess to world , and if they get any order , most of the profit will taken by big corporations , and they will get the same money what they are getting here , unfortunately ........
I live in Gorakhpur , a place known for terakota , they craftsmen sell products here soo cheaply , and the big traders makes most the profit without doing anything and these talented people remains poor ,
*I hope someone make some stratup which fix this problem*
see their website they may sell it in europe
@@hemasingh8033 Don't blame big corporations
For illiteracy.
First thing they should do is get a VAT or TIN number and register there company
Next will be make there business online by registering domain names and creating a Orignal website.
Problem with these guys are falling pray to NGO syndicate who act as Middle men in BTW these poor labors and Foreign market.
Usually NGO act as Middle men for these artisans
And eat there profits.
Rather than big corporations.
What they need is support and program
From Local administrators like IAS or PCS
Who educate them about these things
And start registration of Such small scale business in India and get them Mudra loan or Monetary support as they actually deserve it.
Sadly its Corrupt system and low education that failed them no capitalism.
@@singhisking768 BTW there's no longer VAT it's GST right now.
Problem is the Chinese are already able to do the same chemical reactions and make the same items in large numbers for 20€ wholesale.
Unless the artisan skill is extremely high the chinese have already control of the market.

Pay cash in hand , once it's delivered to you 😂😂
cash on delivery means that you pay the delivery person when your item arrives

These are absolutely beautiful works of art. I wish I could buy one from this artist to make sure he is properly paid for the work he does.
These artists are really low paid as there are lots of high skilled artist and because of Chinese products they are loosing their industry. India produces high quality product in all sector but world donot buy our product because of high cost as compared to China.
We are simple people and take pride in authentic work. We believe in Quality than quantity so we are loosing to Chinese.
"that like processed lime has a magnetic effecton the soil" ummm no. Most of the stuff thrown around about the properties of Bidar soil are purely myths with no scientific basis. The soils is primarily just calcium hydroxide and clay they then mix it with ammonium chloride (not aluminium trichloride as stated in the video). Really the effect is just the reaction from the limestone and ammonium chloride when its heated to 200c.
I peed on that soil to make it salty

My man selling the glasses somehow gives me the vibe that he really worries bout the eyesight of these artisans. I just think that in that unique position you have the ability to help those keeping alive an artcraft that requires so much mastery. Love watching these types of videos.
He just goes to the potential customers. There are very few people who would buy glasses from a roadside vendor.
Iranians who invented this art are still doing it and they make amazing masterpieces. They also have different versions of it.
But it is interesting how this art evolved separately for hundreds of years and differences between the Indian and Iranian styles.
The Indian side can learn to use calligraphy and using religious texts too. That creates its own market.

profitable coin to buy and invest in.
Crypto trading is very profitable when you trade
well.
How does this whole bitcoin thing works, I'm
interested in it and willing and ready to invest
heavily but I need an assistant to properly guide
me through on how to make a good startup and
be successful in it without making mistakes.
Just bought $10k Ethereum and $30k bitcoin
with the recent dump in crypto I was told it's the
right time to buy and get ready for a skyrocket.
The only safe reliable,genuine and highly
experienced expert I can refer you to is Mrs
stacy Griffin Kartner
Wow! Impressive you trade with Stacy Griffin Kartner too! I thought people don't know her
that we... She's really awesome!

2:31 Why that optician is wearing 5 watches?
Watches are for display I think 🤣
I’m fortunate to have been to Bidar in 2010 and bought one of these wonderful items. It is on display in my home in England.
It's in the hinterlands and away from touristy circuits. I wonder how it occurred to you to go there. Perhaps, a trip after visiting Hampi nearby?
@@roman5782we were on our way from Hyderabad on a local bus. Maybe we’d read about this craft. Afterwards we visited Bijapur and it’s echoing dome.
You know it feels really good to see people appreciate talent!
1:29 10/10 analogy
It's not true lol. Doctors can tell before the child is born using ultrasound.
@@nobodycaresaboutyou5590 that's illegal though
@@nobodycaresaboutyou5590 it's because i think it's banned in india to reveal gender before birth, i heard from a friend (if any hindi could confirm for me that'd be helpful)
@@nobodycaresaboutyou5590 It's illegal in India since the rate of female foeticide and infanticide are high.
@@katanova218 You mean Indian. And yes it is illegal because many people kill off girl infants and foetuses.
worker: We taste the soil because it should have a slightly salty flavor.
A dog which peed an hour ago: Perfect 😂😂😂

That is beautiful art and if I had the money I'd make a room dedicated to it. I'm no collector, but rare art that lets us go back to when everything was a specialty made by hand is just something i have a soft spot for.
I went to their site they have a very kind warning that they have a lot of orders and it might take a little for custom orders.
I expected a lot higher prices for the vases I was interested in, but they are only around $25-$40 !!!! So little, for a handcrafted beautiful artwork...
so many Europeans and Americans make toilet jokes on India. they should watch such things also.
all European countries looted Africa, Asia ,south America and now they make jokes of their poverty & living standards.

I love the glass salesman... He's wearing 5 watches
To see the time correctly so that he doesn't miss out on his monthly date to check them
He has wives in 5 time zones
He's /selling/ 5 watches.
I myself make craft with the intention of going into business and the thing that I struggle with the most is price. Just like these items a lot of love, time and expenses have gone into making the finished product, but if I over price then customers don’t want to buy them. People need to start charging their worth
I found one of these beauties at a thrift store. I knew it was special the moment I saw it and had to have it! Such beautiful details! Sad to see that someone just gave it away but if they hadn't done so I wouldn't be watching this video and learning its history!! So thank you for my new treasure!!!!!
