Bidricraft is a prosperous handicraft of Bidar, North Karnataka state of India. Bidricraft was introduced in Bidar by a Persian artisan Abdulla-bin-Kaiser. Who was surrounded by a group of skilled workers brought from Iran by Sultan Ahmed Shah Wali Bahamani in the early 6th century. Abdula's expertise in this wonderful craft impressed the Sultan to such a level that he arranged for the training of local craftsmen in Bidricraft for embellishment of Mahmud Gawan Madarsa.

In its original Persian Avatar, Bidriwork involved the inlaying of Gold or Silver on a steel or copper base. The present method envisions an alloy of zinc and copper as the base metal. Artisans sketch complex floral and geometric designs on the matt black surface using a sharp metal stylus. This special type of encrusted metal-ware was used to make fancy various objects, counting serving dish, boxes, goblets, hookahs, trays etc.

A unique characteristic of the Bidricraft is the soil used to ornament the art objects. This soil, which has not received rain or sunlight for centuries, is collected by artisans from the inner areas of the Bidar fort. The soil contains ingredients that five a lustrous black color to Bidricraft. The scarcity of raw materials obstruct the mass production of Bidricraft artifacts.

The intricate nature of the Bidricraft demands meticulous efforts from the artists.

Bidricraft is a metal work where objects are cast from an alloy in which Zinc predominates with small amounts of lead as well as copper and tin. The traditional artifacts made are the hookahs, Goblets, vases, caskets, jewelry and various other decorative accessories.
