“Bande Utkala Janani…”
The line has a deluge of emotions attached to it. Right?
Our Odisha, is our pride. It shines with its own distinct identity. Our true identity shines through our heritage and culture. We have a lot to boast about them. Also known by names such as Utkal, our pristine land of Odisha has a unique culture and heritage that sets it apart. Our mesmerizing dance forms, rich folk culture, music, exquisite handicraft, and handloom give us reason to feel proud as Odia!
We always like to keep our glorious heritage alive for all times to come..
So we bring you a list of selected Dhokra products that will light up our spirits and invoke the genuine pride of being an Odia within us!
Behold the Lord Of the Universe
He is the one that created our beautiful universe, guards it against all evil, and leads us all toward the path of light! We begin our day and even end it with Jai Jagannath!
Called by various names, like Jagga, Chakanayana, and Mahaprabhu, he is the heartbeat of every Odia. So how about blessing your home with his presence? So why not bring the Lord to your home?
Dhokra statue of Lord Jagannath serves as a top-notch choice for home decor! Lord Jagga sits on his golden pedestal adorned in jewelry! What captures our hearts is the aesthetic charm that the Dhokra idol exudes!
A Pro-Tip For You: Dhokra pieces are for show and decor purposes, so we advise you not to consider a puja room to keep the figurine. Choose a spot where you can make it a center of attraction. Opt for an attractive wooden shelf hung on the wall to showcase it.
Reminiscing Our Maritime Legacy
Our history is an integral part of our identity. To the Odias, our ancient maritime journey has always been a landmark in our Odia history.
That golden time when our sailors traveled far and wide, sailing on their gigantic maritime ships for trading purposes, was a matter of glory for all Odias.
To celebrate this unforgettable journey and our glorious sailors, presenting our beautiful Dhokra Maritime Ship. Simply aesthetic with intricate work, the ship looks like a mini version of the magnificent maritime ship that existed centuries ago. It also has sailors seated on it.
So have you ever considered having it as home decor? If you have not yet, now is the time!
How To Showcase It: This timeless piece needs a perfect spot, such as a coffee table! Keep it beside a lamp that will illuminate it. But remember to keep it in the places where it catches attention smoothly.
Celebrating a Warrior's Glory
The infamous battle of Kalinga is an indispensable part of our rich history. The battle took place during the reign of Ashoka the Great. Filled with bloodshed, it took the lives of several Kalinga warriors. But their sacrifices and bravery are honored to date.
So we bring you our beautiful Dhokra Battle Horse statue. The horse depicts power and valiance. A warrior is standing beside it, which represents courage. It is an exquisite work of art and will be a valuable asset to your house. It also sparks uncontrollable emotions when you see them!
Tips To Decorate: It is a unique home decor. You can place it near your entrance, as this might immediately come to notice while entering.
