A Family. A Fire.
A Living Heritage.
For over 80 years, the Mukundray Fulchand family has been shaping metal into memory. Every piece that leaves our Sihor workshop carries the same hands.
Why Trust The Metal
"Our Work Is To Preserve Pure Kansa In Indian Homes - To Give Families Kitchenware That Makes An Everyday Meal Feel Like Something Worth Gathering For."
Where it began
One Man Began it. The Family Carries it.
In 1945, in the Kansara bazar of Sihor, Gujarat, our Grandfather, Sh. Mukundray Fulchand, lit his first furnace. He had learned the craft from his own father, who had learned it from his.
"We don't just make utensils. We pass down a way of living - one that Ayurveda has celebrated for thousands of years."
What began as one workshop has, across four generations, become a name that households in India and 40+ countries have come to trust.
Today the family and our artisans still work side by side in that same Sihor workshop - hammering each sheet of metal by hand, the way it was done in 1945.
Four generations
The Same Furnace, Kept Lit.
Names change with time. The hammer, the furnace, and the standard have not.
The first furnace
Sh. Mukundray Fulchand opens the workshop in Sihor. The first pieces are hammered by hand, using techniques carried by the Kansara community for centuries.
The second generation
Sh. Mukundray Fulchand opens the workshop in Sihor. The first pieces are hammered by hand, using techniques carried by the Kansara community for centuries.
The third generation
The family pursues lab verification to prove what they had always known by hand, that the metal is pure. Testing becomes part of how every batch leaves the workshop.
The fourth generation
The same workshop. The same hammer. The family sells directly, from the front of the very building where the metal is made.
The name
The Metal Named Us Twice.
Our community is called Kansara - from kansu, the old word for bronze. We were not drawn to this metal. We were born of it. And when, generation after generation, we gave our hands to kansa and nothing else, people stopped asking who we were. They knew us by the metal.
Foundation
What stays the same.
Beyond the shine, a few things we hold on to.
We think of ourselves as guardians of a craft that could easily disappear - rooted in family, in Sihor, and in a way of eating that Ayurveda has championed for centuries.
We are not the loudest name in this trade. We have never needed to be. The metal, and the family behind it, speak plainly enough.
Most people come to kansa first for how it looks - the warmth, the weight, the quiet richness on a table. They may not yet know the science or the lineage behind it. Our work is to meet that first pull with something deeper, so a beautiful object becomes a trusted family.

Born of the metal
Makers, not merchants
Kept, not spent
Pure, always
Honest over loud

The promise behind the story
Heritage is the story.
The lab report is the proof.
We are proud of 1945. We know pride is not evidence. So alongside the story, we lab-test our own metal and hold the report - the 78:22 ratio, and food-contact safety, verified, not just claimed.

ONE ROOF
We make it in the back. We sell it from the front.
No factory somewhere you will never see. Behind our showroom, in the same building, the metal is beaten by hand and the family lives its life. The thing we sell and the place we live are not separated by a single wall.

How it is made
No machines. No shortcuts.

Quality & finish
Polished, checked by hand, and never sent out until it has earned the name.
