Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an extensive industrial-craft area with small workshops, foundries, polishing units and retail showrooms spread across Peetal Nagri and nearby markets. Artisans can be seen casting, engraving, hammering and polishing brassware. Showrooms display utensils, vases, lamps, idols and decorative items available for purchase. The setting is busy and industrial with narrow lanes, workshops and wholesale markets rather than a single enclosed attraction.
