The Ancient Art of Dhokra

Dhokra is one of India’s oldest traditional metal-casting techniques, practiced for over 4,000 years. It traces its roots back to the Harappa and Mohenjodaro Civilizations, making it a living link to the world’s earliest cultures. This intricate craft uses the lost wax technique (cire perdue), passed down through generations of artisans across Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal. Entirely handcrafted, Dhokra’s unique 13-stage process combines clay molds, beeswax, and molten metal to create intricate designs. The resulting alloy of brass, nickel, and zinc gives each piece its antique, timeless finish.

Sustainably Made, Naturally Rooted

Every element of this Dhokra piece is drawn from nature, from the clay of the fields to the wax from the forests. Unlike factory-made products, it carries with it the simplicity and integrity of materials that nurture the earth, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint.
