In this spectacular dhokra statue, the Lord Krishna, the popular deity of Hinduism, is crafted playing his flute. His immortal tune of love mesmerised the young ladies (gopis) in Vrindaban. Precision of a surgeon, flawless designs mark the figure. The figurine attests to the excellence of the dhokra artists. Their deep desire to preserve their fine arts is manifest here. Literally meaning "oldest," dhokra 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.
