  • Printer-friendly version

Earlier bell metal crafts were used for ritualistic and daily use purposes only. Figurines of local deities in various sizes, lamps and utensils were made. Idol of Danteshwari Mata, most worshipped Goddess by the Gond tribal’s of Bastar, was most the common product. Figurines of lovers “Jhitku Mitki”, the local legend, are also amongst one of the favorites.  Animal figures of horses, elephants and nandi are very popular amongst the craft lovers.

Accessories like bell, oil lamps, incense stick holder and utility products like grain containers are the most saleable artifacts. Also intricately decorated necklace, anklet, bracelet and earrings can be seen in the craft market. Traditional ornaments are the most decorative products of Dhokra.
