Moradabad, often called the “Brass City of India,” is a prominent city in western Uttar Pradesh known for its rich industrial heritage and skilled craftsmanship. Established in 1625 by Rustam Khan, the city has grown into a major center for metalwork, especially brass handicrafts, which are exported worldwide. Moradabad’s brass products—ranging from utensils and decorative items to sculptures—are renowned for their intricate designs and durability, giving the city its global recognition. Apart from its industrial fame, Moradabad has a rich cultural and historical legacy, with influences from the Mughal era visible in its architecture and urban planning.
