Dokra Ganesha on a walk

Ganesha on a walk is a contemporary take on Lord Ganesha while introducing modern iconography. Here the Lord is out on a walk, wearing a dhoti and holding a walking stick while his faithful vehicle the Mushaka (mouse) holds an umbrella for him. This GI-certified art form comes to you from the tribal heartland of West Bengal.
Dokra is a painstaking work of craftsmanship where each piece is first moulded in wax and then coved with a layer of clay. It is then baked in a pit fire where the wax is lost through a tiny opening at the bottom, giving it the name, ‘lost wax technique’. Once cooled, molten brass is poured into the clay mould where it solidifies, taking shape of the wax model. Since each piece is hand moulded, no two pieces of Dokra are similar. Here is your chance to bring home a piece of art made using a 5000-year-old technique of metal casting.
