Dhokra Art Gallery
Dhokra art also called as Dokra Art is one of the oldest techniques of metal casting. The Damar Dhokra tribes who were metal smiths from West Bengal were the pioneers of this art and in the present day, it is widely practiced in regions including Jharkhand, Orissa and Chattisgarh. This folk art uses the lost wax casting which is classified into 2 broad categories: Solid casting and hollow casting. Casted figurines are mostly folk motifs. These motifs are placed in center of the paintings surrounded by simple geometric shapes.
