Metal crafting is not new to India and can be found throughout the land. It is especially popular in Allahabad, where the Ganga and Jamuna Rivers meet to tell this special tale. The various patterns that are produced in this region are actually named after these rivers, the Ganga-Jamuna pattern. In this region there is an extensive amount of gold and silver plated articles created with an array of patterns, especially floral motifs.
