An art that is 4000-5000 years old, its earliest known lost wax artefact is the dancing girl of Mohenjodaro. The name comes from the Dokra tribes, the metal-workers of Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Distant cousins of this tribe also extend from Jharkhand to West Bengal and Orissa. The artisans continuing this tradition create various figurines and models of gods, goddesses, animals, birds, everyday objects, and even jewellery. Today, Dokra art is admired all over the world for its primeval simplicity and enchanting folk motifs.
