In Ferozabad, the entire community is involved in making
glassware. Earlier only bangles were made, but now all sorts of
sophisticated glassware, as well as tasteful tableware is produced.
Varanasi also specializes in glass
beads.
Now with very modern methods and in a much wider range, ever new ones are
produced, many of which are exported. The craftsmen of
Varanasi also make a very thin glass
out of which little pieces called tikuli are cut out. 
These are worn by women on their forehead as an ornament or for
decorating the fabrics, costumes etc.
