The kumbhar community is involved in pottery making. They make pots, Diya, Matka, and other products with clay. They have been in the pottery business for the past 50 years. However there are very few who are still involved in this business currently. In the process “kilns” are used to bake the pots. The left out of nylon and polyester clothes in the tailoring process are used as a layer to put on the top of the kiln, firing them. This emits harmful smoke which then spreads out in the vada. Our vada has a total of 10 kiln out of which only two are functioning.
