Let a joyful idol transform your life

Lord Ganesha is one of the most loved and revered gods from Hinduism. The elephant-headed God of beginnings brings good luck and sprinkles blessings on every happy occasion. It is believed in India that any new beginning must be committed to Lord Ganesha who removes obstacles. Lord Ganesha is probably what can be termed as the “most fun god” because of his cute trunk on the body of a human, his chubby cheeks, and tummy. Indians around the world celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi (annual festival) with much pomp and show. Huge Ganesha idols adorn the street corners around the country, especially in the state of Maharashtra. The Marathi language chant that’s heard everywhere during this time is - Ganapati bappa moriya, pudhachya varshi laukar yaa (Hail father Ganesha, come soon next year).  Ganesha is also a patron of arts and sciences and of intellect and wisdom. 

Dhokra, or Dokra - is a special process being used from the time of the Bronze Age when man had just begun inventing tools. The famous sculpture of the “Dancing Girl” that we all read about was actually a Dhokra art form that came from Mohenjo-Daro - the ancient city from the Indus Valley Civilization. The technique used for making the Dhokra art is believed to have originated from there and preserved from generations for more than 4,000 years. Dhokra art eventually came to be recognized in the modern world for its primitive simplicity, enchanting folk motifs and artistic charm. Our search for such skilled craftsmanship ended in the Bastar region of the state of Chhattisgarh, India. The tribal folk here are famed for following the ancient process of creating Dhokra crafts using wax technique that involves 12 stages of forming, shaping and solidifying the handicrafts through the touch of human hands at every level. The artisans call this process “Gadhwa” comparing it with the time of nine months of an infant’s growth in the mother’s womb.
