In Kanpur, families collect precious gold dust from the soil outside jewelry markets at night. During the day, fine gold and silver particles fall into the dust from jewelry cutting and polishing. After market closure, artisans use brooms and brushes to gather this dust, then melt it to extract 300-400 milligrams of pure gold after a five to six-hour process.
