The Kansara caste is a Hindu caste whose traditional occupation is the making of metal utensils; they inhabit the Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat.[1]
The Kansara derived their name from kan̩su (Gujarati: કાંસુ, IPA: [kɑɳsũː]).[2]
During the reign of the Mughal Empire, many Kansaras moved from Gujarat to Maharashtra.[1]
They are an urban caste.[3]
They celebrate all Hindu festivals, though Navaratri and Vijayadashami are mainly focused. They arrange many cultural functions during the nine days of Navaratri and performs Shastra Puja on the tenth day, i.e., on Vijayadashami. Other important festivals are Deepawali, Raksha Bandhan, Sahasrarjun Jayanti, Kartik Ekadashi, and Nag Panchami.[1]
