Our legacy

Three generations.
One craft.

From a single copper yantra workshop in Lal Darwaja to a precision etching unit serving the world.

Our purpose

We believe that quality should never depend on quantity.

Every customer, from a small family buying a spiritual yantra to a large corporation ordering employee awards, deserves the same precision, care and attention to detail. That is the standard the first generation set in 1977, and it is the reason the workshop changed its process rather than its prices as the orders got larger.

Our vision

To become India's most trusted name in precision photochemical etching - serving both traditional and modern metal art needs with uncompromising quality.

Our mission

To deliver perfectly consistent, high-quality metal products using modern photochemical etching technology - whether you order 1 piece or 10,000.

What that means in practice

A family workshop, held to an institutional standard.

1 piece or 10,000 — same tolerance, same proof

Growing without losing the standard.

Seventeen years of scaling

Between the first yantra and today, the method changed more than the name did. These are the decisions that let a workshop take institutional orders and still finish them by hand.

See the six-step process
  • Modern technology, not old habits

    We deliberately moved away from inconsistent hand-engraving to photochemical etching - the same process used for PCB-grade precision. Identical results whether you order one piece or ten thousand.

  • We work from your file

    Send sketches, CAD files, CorelDRAW artwork or a reference image. Our team builds precise 2D vector files or 3D CAD, and elevates every piece to exhibit quality with clean, professional finishing.

  • Three tiers of precision

    From ±0.1mm etching tolerance on institutional pieces, to zero-shortcuts quality for everyday customers, to 3D collectible medals and custom commemorative coins for international buyers.

  • Twelve-point inspection

    Every single piece is inspected under 10x magnification against your approved proof. If it fails, it is scrapped. No shortcuts, no cheap mixed metals, ever.

  • Certified and traceable

    ISO 9001:2015 certified and RoHS compliant, with Material Test Reports so every batch of metal - platinum, titanium, steel, copper or brass - is traceable to its source.

  • Built to travel

    Anti-tarnish wrapping, crush-proof packaging and full export documentation, with insured international shipping supported by reliable logistics partners.

Three standards, and the tolerance behind each.

What the bench has always made

Not a price ladder - three working standards, with the same proof and the same inspection behind all three.
