GURUKRIPA ORIGINAL THEWA ART
Welcome to Guru Kripa ~ Original Thewa Art
About Thewa Art
Thewa Art is a special art of jewellery making which involves embossing of intricately worked-out sheet gold on glass. Thewa Art evolved in Pratapgarh district, Rajasthan (India) about 400 years ago. Our ancestor Nathu Lal Soni was the first goldsmith who initiated this Thewa Art in 1707.
It soon caught the fancy of kings and princes and Maharaja Sumant Singh patronized Thewa Art in 1765 and granted a jagir to the family of Nathu Lal Soni conferring the title of Rajsoni on him.
