Art is one of the finest expressions of the human spirit and handicrafts a deep felt expression of culture. Better World Arts brings these exalted expressions of humanity together, uniting the oldest living culture on earth with the finest handmade traditions of the silk road and beyond.

In 1600, Morad, the son of the renown Mugul Emperor Shah Jahan, established the city of Moradabad on the banks of the Ram Ganga, a tributary of the mighty Ganges. This was at the height of the Mughal Empire in India, the same era in which the Taj Mahal was built.

Moradabad became famous for fine hand crafted brassware. Innovative artisans have developed their skills, learning contempory techniques, working with other metals, wood, resins and enamels and the application of digital processes into the regional crafts.
