Jadiala Guru is a place in Amritsar which is known for its handicraft work of making utensils of brass and copper. Thathera is a traditional community which is known for making brass + copper utensils. That is their only form of living which binds them with their community. It is the only Indian craft form which has found a place in UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Now many exhibitions are organised around Punjab where these utensils are sold. These exhibitions are the only source of earning for these craftsmen.
