Dolls of Jhabua

The Craft of Doll Making

Products

Dolls of Jhabua are available in varying sizes and the larger ones are actually human size. Those are only made to order though. There isn’t much demand for these dolls in the local market and most of what is produced is exported or sold in handicraft bazaars that these craftsmen travel to. The government authorities seem to be helping these local craftsmen in developing and preserving their tradition too.

Gudiya Ghar is how Shakti Emporium is locally known. It has the finest and perhaps only collection of dolls made by the tribals. These are slightly different from what the locals make, in terms of their dresses and accessories, and are more intricately detailed. Apart from dolls, the emporium also has a range of unbelievable bead ornaments, purses and the traditional teer-kamaans.
