Dhokra metal-casting uses the lost-wax technique
One of the earliest and most advanced method of metal casting known to human civilization
This unbroken tradition coupled with the intrinsic starkness and vitality of the art form makes Dhokra coveted by collectors
Dhokra crafts people are settled over a vast tract in the mineral rich central Indian tribal belt (the regions of Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and parts of Andhra Pradesh)

The Dhokra motifs are inspired by indigenous folk culture
There is a primitive simplicity and imaginative use of design and patternDhokra art is a tribal art form which has survived in its pristine form for thousands of years. Each piece is handmade, unique and a labour of love. The preparatory wax work is done with meticulous skill from wires of bees - wax. It is then covered with a thick layer of clay keeping a hole on top. Molten metal is then poured into the mould replacing the wax layer. Once the cast is removed ornamental finishing touches are applied.
