👉 The key steps in the traditional method of making a 22-Karat gold thali, as described in this video, are:

00:45 Preparation of Gold Pieces: Small pieces of gold are cut and shaped to the right size and motifs needed for the thali

03:35 Arranging and Gluing: The pieces are arranged and glued at the corners using a special traditional glue to keep them in place

04:23 Soldering with Vengarum: A substance called "vengarum" is applied, which is essential for soldering gold jewelry and ensuring the pieces stay together

07:43, 08:10 Shaping and Filing: After soldering, the thali is shaped, edges are cut, and sharp edges are filed down to make it smooth and wearable

08:53 Acid Cleaning: The thali is cleaned with a special acid to remove soldering debris and polished for a clean finish

09:42 Detailing: Intricate details, such as cutting small niches and motifs, are added by hand, especially for custom or smaller thalis

13:15 Making and Attaching Curries: Small gold pieces called curries are made and attached to the thali, then soldered in place

14:22 Final Assembly and Checks: All connections are checked, and the thali is filed, polished, and assembled with beads and other elements.

16:06 Custom Thali Mangalsutra: For custom orders, the size and details are adjusted to meet client preferences, ensuring the same craftsmanship in a smaller, more wearable piece

These steps highlight the intricate, handmade process and the craftsmanship involved in creating a traditional 22 Karat gold thali.
