Brass idols, crafted in India's ancient metalworking traditions, emit divine reflections. They are curated as noteworthy gifts, priced individually for Durgaji only. Handcrafted, these idols may bear slight irregularities inherent to human involvement. Variations in texture, color, and size are expected due to the handmade process, while some black spots are characteristic of the material and unavoidable.

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.

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
