In the heart of West Bengal, where tradition and artistry merge, a captivating figure is brought to life. This golden showpiece is not merely a decorative item; it is a celebration cast in bell metal, embodying the spirit of Lord Ganesha in a moment of ecstatic dance. Holding a dafli, or small Indian tambourine, the dancing Ganesha symbolises the power of music, joy and the removal of obstacles. Standing at 5 inches, this exquisite artefact brings a touch of ancient heritage and auspicious energy to any space.
About the Craft: GI Certified Bengal Dokra
This magnificent sculpture is created through the ancient technique of Dokra, a 4,000-year-old art form practised by artisans in West Bengal. It follows the meticulous lost-wax casting method, where a mould is first made from a precise wax model. This method ensures that each piece is handcrafted individually, making every Ganesha figurine truly one-of-a-kind. The Dokra craft has been officially recognised with a GI (Geographical Indication) certification, confirming its authenticity and preserving the lineage of Bengal’s traditional artistry while providing essential support to the skilled rural communities who maintain this heritage. The result is a premium bell metal piece with a signature rustic, antique finish that deepens in character over time.
Speciality
The true speciality of this item lies in its blend of divine symbolism and traditional craftsmanship. The dynamic pose of the dancing Ganesha, a relatively less common depiction, captures a moment of pure bliss and creative energy. It is an artefact that connects your home directly to the ancient looms of Indian handicraft, carrying the weight of four millennia of artistic tradition. Being made of bell metal and boasting a durable construction, this 277 g showpiece is not just an item of decor but a piece of lasting art collection.
How to Care?
To maintain the intrinsic beauty and rustic finish of your Dokra showpiece, please follow specific care instructions. Never use harsh cleaning agents such as soap water, acidic materials, Brasso or any other chemical cleaner. For routine maintenance and dusting, use a dry cloth or a soft hairbrush. After cleaning, you may apply a few drops of natural oil or Vaseline to the surface to help retain its golden lustre and protect the metal.
This handcrafted dancing Ganesha with a dafli is a testament to the enduring beauty of Indian heritage. It is a harmonious fusion of art, history and spiritual symbolism, ready to infuse your space with positive vibrations and the timeless rhythm of tradition.
