Bhanda Kansara is a village in the Indian state of Odisha, with a population of more than 4,000 people located in the Kendujhar district.

[citation needed] Bhanda Kansara has traditionally been known as a centre for metal work, primarily the manufacturing of bells and household utensils.

Traditional craftsman also create artistic metal items such as idols of gods, goddesses, and animals, as well as bangles etc.

[citation needed] The famous Kichekeswari Temple is 12 km from Bhanda Kansara, in the village of Khiching.

A dwindling supply of raw materials such as copper, tin, brass, and coal as fuel, has led many craftsmen to abandon their traditional occupation.
