From smelting and recycling metals to hand molding creative expressions through the ‘lost wax metal casting’ dhokra process, (a technique that dates back 5000 years) the dexterity and creative skills of these artisans is mesmerizing.

 

Virtually impossible to replicate, these crafts in bell metal, bronze, copper, forest seeds...are one of a kind and are as precious as the sweat and tears of the small communities that excel in their creation.

 

Tribes of India, as much as across the world, have adorned themselves from head to toe, with amazing ingenuity of stunning creations from their local natural habitat. Some of it quite radical or even edgy, all of it rapturous.

 

Most of these moving tribals are located in the eastern forest lands of India and may be found, only to be lost again.
