Craftsmanship & Origin
Dokra (Dhokra) craft is an ancient metal casting tradition practiced by tribal artisans in Chhattisgarh. The craft uses the lost-wax casting method, where artisans first create a design using beeswax or paraffin wax.
The wax model is then coated with a mixture of clay and rice husk to form a mold. When heated, the wax melts away and molten metal is poured into the mold cavity. Natural materials such as coal, tree resin, and nut oil are used during the process. Once cooled, the clay mold is broken to reveal the final metal pendant.
