Description

Share With love

Skilled artisans in Bankura, West Bengal, meticulously craft the captivating Durga murti using the age-old dokra technique. This process, passed down through generations, imbues each murti with a unique character and narrative.

The journey begins with the creation of a core using clay or terracotta. This core forms the base upon which the metal takes shape. Beeswax, applied layer upon layer, meticulously covers the core, leaving intricate patterns and designs. Once the desired design is achieved, the artisans use lost-wax casting. They fill the beeswax mold with molten metal, traditionally bell metal, which is an alloy of copper, tin, and zinc. The heat melts the wax, allowing the metal to take its place.

Once the metal cools, the artisans carefully break away the clay core and the hardened beeswax, revealing the raw Durga Murti of Dokra. The artisans then bring the murti to life through a meticulous process of filing, chiseling, and hammering. They smooth out the rough edges, refine the details, and accentuate the intricate patterns, breathing life into the form.
