Traditional 'lac ki churi' or lacquer bangle being made by a Rajasthani man on his hot table fired by live coals. Made of lac, these bangles are the epitome of Indian traditions and craftsmanship. Made by hand, it takes in a lot of time and effort to make them and mould them from a malleable state to round bangles. To add colour to the bangles the lac while in a semi-solid form more colour is added and then bit by bit the lacquer is put on a handle and moulded into bangles from there.
