Kaarigari - Episode 2: The Art of Dokra | Bastar, Chhattisgarh

In the second episode of our micro-documentary series ‘Kaarigari’, we travel to Bastar, Chhattisgarh to witness a metallurgical marvel that dates back 4,000 years: the Dokra art.

Every piece begins in the quiet of the earth and matures through the intensity of the flames. This is the story of an ancient craft that turns soil into stories, fire into legacy, and brass into a timeless bridge between generations.

When changing times threatened to extinguish the fires of this heritage, a collaborative spark of design and modern vision stepped in to revive this ancient tradition.
