Contemporary thinking and designing bring in features that give importance to handmade artistry, eco-friendly materials used and the effort that identifies deft craftspeople from interior villages. The Bastar, district from Chhattisgarh, specializes in the preparation of items from the Dhokra Handicraft. Dhokra is one of the earliest known methods of metal casting and is the only living tradition of metal image making in India. It is akin to line drawings, but hand moulded brass casting and the malleability speaks of creative detailing. This process calls for a great deal of precision and skill. This particular art form can add earthen essence to any home and grace homes the world over, attracting the attention of art enthusiasts.
