Dokra Mahisha Mukha Durga

The Mahisha Mukha Durga is an elaborate presentation of the Goddess in her Mahishasura Mardini form. The artist has carefully carved intricate patterns, to adorn the Goddess in all her glory. The Goddess stands on the Buffalo-headed Demon and the entire piece is delicately balanced on the tongue of the Demon. The GI-certified sculpture comes to you with a tastefully designed complimentary pedestal and a backdrop draped in raw silk.
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 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.
