Bronze Dokra Sculpture of Lord Ganesha – A Symbol of Wisdom and Prosperity
This intricately crafted bronze Dokra sculpture portrays Lord Ganesha, one of the most cherished deities in Hinduism, revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, intellect, and prosperity. This artistic representation of Ganesha is a stunning example of the ancient lost-wax casting technique used in Dokra art, celebrated for its rustic charm and timeless appeal.
