History of Firozabad
History of Firozabad: Famous all over the world for artistic glass bangles, Firozabad is also known as Suhag Nagari, which has about 110 years old history. According to the book ‘Firozabad Parichay’, written by Sahityaratna Ganesh Sharma (Pranesh) published in the year 1962, the beginning of glass making is considered to be about 250 to 300 years before Agra became the capital of Chandrawad kings and Mughal rulers.
bangle making process
When the temperature of the furnace reaches 1300 to 1500 degrees and the solution melts and turns into glass, the process of making bangles begins. The bangle worker takes out the molten glass from the kiln in an iron rod and from there it comes to the kiln. Here the hot glass is cooled by giving shape and size to the glass piece and the worker again takes new glass from the furnace on the same glass. This process of plating glass is repeated three to four times. After this, it goes for making on the cylinder where the craftsman operating the cylinder balances the rod with his hands in such a way that the thread of glass running on the cylinder remains the same. The bangle gets its shape on the rolling pin and is prepared in the form of a round long strand.
