For three hundred years, ten-year-old Gopal Dyal's family have been master “minakari” craftsmen in the courts of India’s Maharajahs. Minakari is a very intricate style of gold and silver enamel work. Gopal goes to school, flies kites with his friends, and hopes one day to become a master craftsman like his father and his two elder brothers. Their large, extended family lives under one roof, and it is within this environment that Gopal, with pride and accomplishment, is carrying on the family’s creative tradition. When they get a rush order for a New Delhi wedding, Gopal is asked to make a gold pendant for their client.
