Handcrafted Dhokra Palanquin

The Dokra palanquin is a beautiful piece of art handcrafted by the Dhokra Damar tribes of West Bengal.

The ancient art form of Dhokra is believed to have its roots extending & over 4000 years ago, with its origins dating back to the Harrapan Civilization. For millennia, the skilled artisans of the Dhokra Damar tribes, scattered across central India, have honed their craft using the intricate wax metal casting technique. Employing a special alloy comprised of Brass, Nickel, and Zinc, known as Dhokra metal, they create exquisite pieces of art characterized by their timeless antique appearance.

The Dhokra palanquin and the palanquin bearers take us back many years when the Palki was the only means of transportation through forest. Entirely handcrafted the Dhokra palanquin will elevate any space or corner of your home with its detailed beauty.

A beautiful addition to your home décor and a unique gift to give.

Care: Over time, brass develops a charming antique appearance due to tarnishing. To preserve its shine, it is essential to clean each Dhokra artifact regularly with a soft, dry cloth and store them away from moisture and abrasive substances
