Dokra Mahishasuramardini

Divinity manifests itself in multiple forms. Here the artist presents divinity as Goddess Durga in her Mahishasura Mardini form, slaying the buffalo demon. The Goddess is cast using the traditional iconography with the Demon represented as a buffalo head. The GI-certified art piece comes to you, standing on a stylish pedestal with a circular 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.
