Meenakari, unique art is also known as
enamelling, the art of ornamenting metal surface with attractive colours and
Kundan stones. In olden days the meenakari art was done on gold, but later on,
it is done on another metal like silver. The word ‘Meena’ means the specific
enamel or colour used in this work whereas in other words, mina is the feminine
form of Minoo in Persian which means heaven and Meena refers to the blue (Azur)
colour of heaven. Mughals introduced this unique art to India during the
17th century. Silver is a soft and shiny metal which is malleable and
ductile and can be shaped easily by hammering. Silver is found in native form,
either pure or an alloy in nature. Silver is commonly extracted from ore by
smelting or chemical leaching. The meenakari in Varanasi is characterized by
pink strokes on white enamel hence it is known as Banaras Gulabi Meenakari.
This art is famous in the name of Banaras Gulabi Meenakari because of its
unique style and colour combination.
