Artful Utility, Rooted in Craft

Why P•TAL?

At P•TAL, we work with 100% pure, certified metals, shaped by the skilled hands of generations of thatheras from Punjab. Every piece is designed not just for utility, but with deep meaning, honouring Ayurveda, community of artisans, and the beauty of slow living. In a world of mass production, we offer something different: vessels that carry the warmth of a human hand and the legacy of a craft worth preserving.

What Mass-Produced Utensils Can’t Offer

Mineral-enriched cooking
Zero-waste sustainability
Livelihood for craftsmen
Healthier meals for you

At P•TAL, every vessel is a quiet return to intention, a bond between heritage, health, and home. We make less, but with more meaning.

At our core
lies Craftsmanship
DIVE DEEPER INTO OUR PROCESS

Where It All Began

Punjab Thathera Art Legacy (P•TAL) began as a college project at SRCC, Delhi University — born from the simple desire to preserve Punjab’s UNESCO-listed craft of the thatheras. What started as a revival movement is now a global community, with thousands of homes cooking, serving, and living more consciously.

OUR JOURNEY IS GUIDED BY 5 PRINCIPLES:
01
Reviving heritage through craft (Revival).
02
Designing with purpose and beauty (Functional)
03
Nourishing homes through ancient wisdom (Ayurveda)
04
Honouring metal stories with purity (Material)
05
Crafting timeless utility by hand (Craftsmanship)
“Honouring ancient techniques, we bring handcrafted tradition into today’s modern kitchens, with care, touch, and purpose.”

WHY P•TAL?

Ayurveda has long recognized brass and copper for their therapeutic qualities, from nutrient retention to antibacterial effects. At P•TAL, we mix well-being, heritage, and purpose by bringing these ageless materials back into your life.

We work with certified metal sheets, which our artisans transform into cookware using techniques passed down through generations. Every curve, every joint, every polish, it’s all intentional, beautiful, and built to last.

At the core of P•TAL is a single belief: artful utility. By choosing our products, you support artisans, protect traditions, and bring meaning back to everyday meals.

WHY P•TAL?

We rise by lifting others

P•TAL, which started as a college project, now impacts more than 100 = families of artisans, increasing their monthly incomes by over 2350% in the last 3 years.
