traditional existence of the
Jharekari community the
unique livelihood of many of its members sees them stand at street corners near gold markets and artisan hubs, such as in the city’s Raviwar Peth, a small brush and iron wire in hand.
These members have the taken up the custom of sweeping through the rubbish outside specifi cally these gold shops all day long, which is then connected in a bowl and taken to the riverside. In the fl owing water, they wash this debris several times till the dirt is carried away; next, the soil or sludge left behind is assiduously cleaned and fi ltered again by a special technique, till fi ne metal particles of dry silver and gold remain shining below.
