Review this Item

The simplicity and the easy going nature of the tribal life is manifest in the beautiful dhokra work. The children are playing on the swing. The happy-go-lucky and the simple life of the people are getting a clear reflection on the work. Dhokra (oldest) is a crafting tradition dating as far back as 2000 B.C. Dhokra art is largely associated with the tribal groups of northern India, including Vindhyas and the Eastern Ghats, Bihar and its surroundings, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Myriad images are cast in the dhokra tradition as artisans preserve their millenary culture, custom and belief through the wondrous pieces they create.
