The process of obtaining Lac is carried out in large mud kilns. Semisolid lac is placed on hot metal plate coated with layer of oil, which prevents it from sticking to the plate.

These semisolid dough are then rolled in wooden poles, and once these poles are dried it is ready to make bangles out of it.

The art is being passed on in family for generations and they like what they do, she said. On asking about the younger generation, she said, “Children at our home are very keen on learning but they are way too young to work with hot lac. They will only be taught once they are old enough and it is safe for them to work with melting lac.”
