Firozabad Glass Bangle Craft Cluster

The Firozabad Glass Bangle Craft Cluster in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, is the centre of India's traditional glass bangle industry, often called Suhag Nagari. Located about 45 km from Agra, the cluster comprises numerous small workshops and factories where artisans produce colourful glass bangles, beads and decorative items using age-old furnace techniques. Renowned nationwide, it offers visitors insight into skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations.

Visitors can expect a busy industrial craft area with small workshops and factories housing coal and gas-fired furnaces. Artisans can be seen heating molten glass, blowing, shaping and cutting bangles, and adding colour and decoration by hand. The surroundings include rows of workshops, display shops selling bangles and glassware, and narrow lanes with stacked finished products. Guided walks allow observation of the production process from raw glass to finished bangles.
