Meenakari is the art of decorating metal with enameling. The piece of metal on which meenakari-painting is 2 b done is fixed on a lac stick. Then delicate designs of flowers, birds, Lord Krishna etc r etched on it. Thus a surface or grooves r created 2 hold the colour.Enamel dust of required colour is then poured into the grooves & each colour is fired individually. The heat melts the colour & coloured liquid spreads equally into the groove. Both gold 'n silver can b used as base  4 meenakari. At times copper is also used. After all the colours r thus added the object is cooled 'n polished  2 get the end product.  Thank you.
