The air near this workshop holds the scent of burning resin. Skilled artisans press sticks of colored lac against a spinning wooden rod, friction softening the material until it wraps smoothly around a mandrel. These bangles are traditional to Rajasthan, crafted in a process that has stayed largely unchanged for generations. The heat demands quick, rhythmic movements as the workers embed tiny glass beads or metal wires into the soft, cooling wax. Each piece is molded by hand, one rotation at a time.
