Every time I visit a new place, I make it a point to delve into its traditional art forms, and my trip to Chhattisgarh was no exception. Chhattisgarh is a treasure trove of culture and traditions, so exploring its art was an integral part of my itinerary.
During my journey, I made a stop in the quaint village of Chilkutti. This village is home to the living legend Fagnuram Sagar and his talented daughter Urmila, both of whom are skilled practitioners of the traditional Metal Dokra Art. They generously took the time to walk me through the entire process of creating a dokra metal artefact. From the selection of materials to the intricate crafting techniques, they shared each step in detail. Their humility and simplicity left a lasting impression on me, making the experience even more memorable.
I couldn’t resist purchasing a few unique pieces from them to enhance my home decor. These artifacts not only add beauty to my space but also serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh.
If you’re interested in acquiring a Metal Dokra Artefact, either for your home or as a thoughtful gift, feel free to get in touch with me. These pieces are not just decorative items; they are a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Chhattisgarh and the skill of its artisans.
