Koftgiri is a traditional Indian metalwork art form renowned for its intricate gold or silver inlay on a darker metal surface, typically iron or steel. This craft, deeply rooted in India's rich heritage, showcases exceptional skill and precision. The name "Koftgiri" is derived from the Persian word "koft," meaning "to beat" or "to inlay."

This meticulous craft involves creating delicate patterns and designs on metal surfaces by inlaying contrasting metals.
