    An amazing historical city whose heritage needs to be celebrated more. Hope more intelligent entrepreneurs invest in this industry.

    Kindly visit the Museum of Kannauj at Kannauj ( it is a government owned museum, built on the findings of excavations of Kannauj, carried out in the 1950s ) - you will get rid of your illusion that perfumery business started with Empress NurJahan in Kannauj. There are copper plate grants from the period of King Harsha those directly speak about the taxes on Sandalwood Perfumers of Kannauj. This is from the 7th century CE - almost seven hundred years before Nur Jahan. Besides the existence of many potteries indicating the presence of this trade even during the Kushana period i.e.the 2nd - 3rd Century CE

    Loved the coverage and topic. We need more such ground reporting in India. Listening to the charming elderly shopkeeper towards the end of the video say his business is down to 25% was heartbreaking. India can sometimes be such a harsh country to run a business in.

    This video reminded me of a Hindi poem I studied in 10th standard called खुशबू रचते हैं हाथ. The poem talked about how thre hands that created such mesmerizing fragrances were themselves bloodied by flower thorns. Anyone else remembers it too?

      Was it about scented agarbattis and the rough hands of poor young children who make them?

    The fact that 2 gentlemen brought fragrances to Noor Jahan from Kannauj tells us that perfume making was flourishing in Kannauj even before that.

    This video is super interesting. It's just amazing how traditional techniques are kept alive. Please for those who do not speak Hindi, consider add subtitles. It would be great on order to disseminate broadly this place.

    Usual news focuses too much on large events, and doesn't really educate us about what everyday life in this world looks like for different people. That makes many of us extremely anxious about the world, because we only see it as a mishmash of conflict and disaster. This kind of journalism is important, because it makes us alive to how wonderful and multifaceted life is. It would do us all a lot of good to look at the world with awe rather than fear.
