The Story of Brass
Brass is an ancient alloy — a harmonious blend of copper and zinc, known for its soft golden glow and long-lasting strength. In Indian culture, brass has held a special place for centuries, used in everything from cooking vessels and puja thalis to ceremonial décor and heirloom tableware. Its antibacterial properties and earthy character make it both functional and revered.
At Lera, our brassware is handcrafted in the royal city of Jodhpur, where generations of skilled artisans continue to shape this noble metal with quiet mastery. Each piece is cast, hammered, and polished by hand — honoring time-tested techniques passed down through families.
Spiritual & Ayurvedic Connection
Brass isn't just a metal — it's a medium of energy. In Indian households, it's revered for its grounding properties, and in Ayurveda, it's believed to balance the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Cooking and eating in brass is thought to support digestion, boost immunity, and bring warmth to the body.
It’s not just what you eat, but what you eat from.
The Story of Bronze
Bronze is an ancient alloy of copper and tin, known for its durability, warm hue, and timeless beauty. Used for centuries across Indian households and temples, bronze has held cultural and spiritual significance — especially in the form of baby utensils, cooking vessels, and ritual objects.
At Lera, our bronze pieces are handcrafted using age-old casting methods, polished to a rich, soft finish, and designed to blend tradition with modern functionality. Naturally antimicrobial and built to last for generations, bronze is not just a material — it’s a legacy in metal.
Spiritual & Nutritional Power
Often used in religious offerings and temple kitchens, bronze is known to enhance gut health, alkalize food, and promote better digestion. Ayurveda regards Kansa as a healing metal that supports mental clarity and vitality.
To eat from Kansa is to feed your body and spirit — the way our ancestors intended.
The Story of Copper
Copper has been revered in Indian tradition for centuries — not only for its warm glow but for its natural healing properties. Traditionally used in water vessels, copper is believed to purify and energize, aligning with Ayurvedic practices that promote balance and wellness.
At Lera, our copperware is handcrafted by artisans using traditional methods, combining time-honored design with modern sensibility. Each piece carries the wisdom of the past — made to nourish, sustain, and elevate everyday rituals.
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda, drinking from a copper vessel (tamra jal) is believed to naturally purify water, support digestion, reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and improve skin health. It’s more than a wellness trend — it’s a practice that has nourished generations for centuries.
Copper charges the water with life force, making every sip a step toward wellness
