Craft that speaks its story to you

Dating back to the Mesolithic Age, this art is still a part of the daily lives of the Maria Gond tribe in the Chhattisgarh region of India. Their name, ‘gond’ comes from the word ‘kong’ meaning green mountain. Among their many prominent beliefs, there’s one that stands out. The Gonds believe that looking at positive or pleasant images brings in good luck. Thus carving images that bring them good feelings is part of their home decor. The Gonds are close to nature so painting or depicting things that they see and find beautiful is an integral part of their art. They often depict animals such as a pair of deers or antelope in their Dhokra craft because a deer represents beauty and gentleness.

Dhokra, or Dokra - is a special process being used from the time of the Bronze Age when man had just begun inventing tools. The famous sculpture of the “Dancing Girl” that we all read about was actually a Dhokra art form that came from Mohenjo-Daro - the ancient city from the Indus Valley Civilization. The technique used for making the Dhokra art is believed to have originated from there and preserved from generations for more than 4,000 years. Dhokra art eventually came to be recognized in the modern world for its primitive simplicity, enchanting folk motifs and artistic charm. Our search for such skilled craftsmanship ended in the Bastar region of the state of Chhattisgarh, India. The tribal folk here are famed for following the ancient process of creating Dhokra crafts using wax technique that involves 12 stages of forming, shaping and solidifying the handicrafts through the touch of human hands at every level. The artisans call this process “Gadhwa” comparing it with the time of nine months of an infant’s growth in the mother’s womb.
