Here you will see how the bangles are made from lac or lakh and get the information about lakh.


Heating the Uncolored Lakh 

The lakh rod (without pigment) is heated slowly over  the angethi. Once it is properly heated,  it is simultaneously pressed with a wooden tool called hattha and rolled at regular intervals over a flat iron plate to make it into a cylindrical shape.

Applying Color on Lakh Rod 

When it is sufficiently warm and soft, The colored lakh is heated simultaneously and then applied evenly by rubbing it on the lakh rod.








Thinning Lakh Rod or Coil Formation Using the Hattha

After the color has been applied to the lakh base it is heated again and shaped into a thin coil with the help of hattha. 

Cutting the Coil

Once the coil is evenly shaped it is cut off from the plain lakh rod according to size and the width of the bangle to be made. 

Shaping the Coil

After cutting a portion of  lakh (coil) it is again evenly shaped with help of  hattha. 

Joining Coil

The edges of coil are heated over the burner so that the ends can be joined together to form a bangle.

Sizing the Bangle

After being joined it is slipped through a round wooden beam for fixing the size.

Drying the Bangle
