Solution
Dhokhra Handicraft:
Dhokra handicraft is a wax casting technique which has been in India for more than 4,000 years. One of the earliest known artifacts is the ‘Dancing Girl’ of Mohenjo-Daro. In modem times, this rare art form is the specialty of the Bastar region, a district in Chhattisgarh. The native tribes of the region are practicing the art and their products are in great demand in domestic and foreign markets because of primitive simplicity, enchanting folk motifs, and forceful form. However, the art is dying and no one has been able to come up with a technology to save it.
