Products

The deities whose images appear on Molela terracotta may be part of the mainstream Hindu pantheon (Chamunda, Kali, Durga, Ganesha) or more commonly, regional divinities whose cults are rooted in animistic belief systems (for example, Nagadeva) or in folk legends. Scenes from everyday village life also make for interesting story-telling through clay. These narratives pan across different product categories like tiles, vases, toys and the increasingly-becoming-popular murals that are mostly commissioned to be installed in contemporary, urban buildings.
