The Copper Bells of Nirona | Kutch | Gujarat

In the quiet village of Nirona, the Lohar community carries on this centuries-old tradition of copper bell-making with remarkable dedication. Historically, cattle owners worked closely with blacksmiths to customize the chime of each bell. A cow’s bell might have a deep, resonant tone to carry over long distances, while a goat’s bell would produce a gentler, more intimate sound. Together, these bells created a symphony of the pastures—practical yet poetic. Today, the bells of Nirona have transcended their original purpose. The ghantadi blacksmiths now craft bells in various sizes and tones, some even tuned to the seven notes of Indian classical music, the saat sur. These bells have found a new life as wind chimes, souvenirs, and even musical instruments.
