Ram Temple opening brings fresh hope to Moradabad brass traders as orders for idols shoot up

Lucknow resident Rajni Mishra, 43, is an ardent devotee of Lord Ram and was infatuated by the beauty of a brass idol of the deity, when she visited her friend’s home a few days ago.

Wanting to possess a similar one, she searched for it throughout her home city, but in vain. At last, her search ended in Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad, which is famously called the “brass city”.

As you set foot in the town, shops selling beautifully carved brass items welcome you. Over the years, artisans from Moradabad have filled people’s homes with beautifully designed brassware and other decorative items.
