I designed many things in temples earlier and for the last two years making Tazias for the Muslim brothers. Two years ago muslims from Padra approached me to make Tazia for them and this year i delivered Tazia to Bhalej in Anand also,” said Vipul.

At the time of engraving he make sure to have a maulvi present there to confirm that there was no mistake. “This is my second year and i made the Tazia by using German Silver and Brass weighed nearly 125kg and cost around 4.5 lakhs. It took me 60 days to made it and i am happy to be delivered it in time. The only idea to made Tazias is to spread peace and harmony around us,” said Kansara.

The idea to make Tazia all from metal is to save money and environment as this can be use every year and the water is also not get pollute. After using it this year we place the structure inside our Imaamwada and use it next year,” said Firoz Khan Pathan from Bhalej village.
