The history of brass dates back to ancient civilizations, with artifacts found in various regions,
including the Middle East and Europe. It is believed that brass was first created around 5000
BCE when metallurgists accidentally mixed copper and zinc ores during the smelting process.
Several centuries ago, brass was brought to India and was first known as Mountain
Copper. Brass was first used in India, during the Indus Valley Civilization.
Brass is an alloy created by mixing copper and zinc, the proportions are adjusted to create
different brass applications and uses. Basic brass is 33% zinc with 67% copper but these levels can vary considerably Brass is an extremely sturdy metal. The hardness and strength of brass are mind-blowing. As a vessel, it is an exceptionally tough metal that can endure endless amounts of heat or even harsh use. According to Hindu beliefs, brass is associated with Agni, the god of fire, and is considered an auspicious metal for conducting fire-based rituals. This connection with fire and purity aligns beautifully with the essence of Pooja, which seeks to purify the mind and soul.
As long as it’s cared for and kept polished, brass items will last forever.
Brass has become an essential part of every household, considering it’s been used
for cooking, storing food, decoration, and even heating water. Brass’s aesthetic value is also
the reason why this material has become a popular choice for decorative application.
