Dhokra is a metal casted art that uses the ancient lost-wax casting technique. This art is said to be the first of its kind to use a non-ferrous metal like copper and its alloys. Named after a nomadic tribe called ‘Dhokra Damar’, the art of Dhokra was originally found in the region from Bankura to Dariapur in Bengal, and across the metal-rich regions of Odisha and Madhya Pradesh. Today, it is practiced in the tribal belt across present-day Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.

This region is also home to some of the oldest tribes in India, like the Gonds, who are among the earliest inhabitants of the subcontinent and perhaps this is why some of the symbolism and styles of Dhokra art hark back to an ancient past.
