This seasonal surge has particularly benefited the artisans of Parav village, located approximately 40 kilometers from Patna. The village has long been recognized for its expertise in crafting these metallic vessels, serving as a key supplier for the region.

As the festive season approaches, local workshops in Parav are operating at full capacity to meet the growing consumer needs. The tradition of using brass items for religious rituals and household use remains strong, driving the market for these handcrafted goods. Residents and traders report that orders have increased significantly compared to previous months.

The craft of brass utensil making in Parav is a significant part of the local economy, providing livelihoods to many families. With the upcoming Chhath Puja, which holds special cultural significance in Bihar, the demand for specific ritualistic items is expected to remain high until the festival concludes.
