The art of kalai (kalhai or qalai) is the process of coating an alloy surface such as copper or brass by deposition of metal tin on it. The word "kalai" is derived from Sanskrit word kalya lepa, which means "white wash or tin". A cultural Sanskrit work by Keladi Basava called "Sivatattva Ratnakara" (1699) mentions "kalaya-lepa" in the chapter of cookery or "supashashtra" which means applying kalai on utensils. People practicing the art of kalai are called Kalaiwala or Kalaigar. Basically, Kalaigars or Kalaiwalas are community craftsmen.
