A silver cluster in Belagavi
On the borders of Karnataka and Maharashtra is a village of silversmiths. Located in Belagavi’s Chikkodi taluk, Manguru has karigars in every house who handcraft silver jewellery, especially anklets (gejje or payal). With a population of 10,000, the village houses around 200 home-based silversmithing units. Though many of these artisans are involved in other jobs, including agriculture, they have continued practising the craft of making anklets, toe rings and other silver jewellery that they have inherited from their previous generations.
