The Dhokra art of Chhattisgarh has a rich history spanning over 4,000 years, reflecting the legacy of the Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro civilisations. The dancing girl of Mohenjo-Daro is among the most renowned examples of this craft worldwide. With its origins tied to the term "dhokna," meaning to cast, this tradition employs the ancient lost-wax technique. The craft ensures that each piece is hand-moulded for a unique product, resisting the culture of mass production. Artisans from the Ghadwa community create intricate works inspired by nature, mythology, and local deities. These creations are distinguished by their slender forms and coiled designs, showcasing a rich heritage that continues to thrive in villages like Ektaal and Bastar.

• Creating a core: A core, slightly smaller than the desired object, is made from clay, dried in the sun, and then coated with wax.
• Creating the mould: A mould is shaped by hand using a mixture of local clay and rice chaff, often resembling a deity, animal, or everyday item.
• Applying a wax design: A thin clay layer is applied over the wax design, followed by additional layers until the mould is sufficiently thick and firm.
• Casting: Molten brass is poured into the mould.
• Cooling and finishing: Once cooled, the clay mould is broken, and the metal object is polished, filed, and burnished.

• Each product is meticulously handcrafted, so slight variations in colour or form feature its uniqueness and should not be viewed as defects.
• Images may differ from the actual product in form and colour due to variations in screen resolutions and device settings.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the product.
