On World Fragrance Day, how India's perfume capital Kannauj is keeping 'attar' tradition alive

#PerfumeCapitalKannauj #WorldFragranceDay #Attar
What's Grasse is to France, Kannauj is to India. This video report by ThePrint's Shubhangi Misra and Manisha Mondal takes you inside the UP town's narrow lanes, which are full of centuries-old perfumeries that are keeping the art of attar-making alive.

    Kindly visit the Museum of Kannauj at Kannauj ( it is a government owned museum, built on the findings of excavations of Kannauj, carried out in the 1950s ) - you will get rid of your illusion that perfumery business started with Empress NurJahan in Kannauj. There are copper plate grants from the period of King Harsha those directly speak about the taxes on Sandalwood Perfumers of Kannauj. This is from the 7th century CE - almost seven hundred years before Nur Jahan. Besides the existence of many potteries indicating the presence of this trade even during the Kushana period i.e.the 2nd - 3rd Century CE

    IF THEY MENTION THAT ORIGIALITY THAN THEY WOULDN'T BE THE PRINT THERE HAS TO BE SOME FAKE PROPAGANDA AS THE NAME IT SELF AN ONLINE WEBPORTAL WITH NAME PRINT IS GREAT MISNOMER

    Loved the coverage and topic. We need more such ground reporting in India. Listening to the charming elderly shopkeeper towards the end of the video say his business is down to 25% was heartbreaking. India can sometimes be such a harsh country to run a business in.

    This video reminded me of a Hindi poem I studied in 10th standard called खुशबू रचते हैं हाथ. The poem talked about how thre hands that created such mesmerizing fragrances were themselves bloodied by flower thorns. Anyone else remembers it too?

    The fact that 2 gentlemen brought fragrances to Noor Jahan from Kannauj tells us that perfume making was flourishing in Kannauj even before that.

    Usual news focuses too much on large events, and doesn't really educate us about what everyday life in this world looks like for different people. That makes many of us extremely anxious about the world, because we only see it as a mishmash of conflict and disaster. This kind of journalism is important, because it makes us alive to how wonderful and multifaceted life is. It would do us all a lot of good to look at the world with awe rather than fear.

    This video is super interesting. It's just amazing how traditional techniques are kept alive. Please for those who do not speak Hindi, consider add subtitles. It would be great on order to disseminate broadly this place.
