Additional information

Katha (story behind artefact): The camel has been used as a mode of travel for many generations, evolution-equipped with the quality of preserving water. Becoming the favored companion of merchants traversing the desert, its milk, its ability to carry necessary items for journeying, and its readiness to brave the harsh elements have made this animal invaluable to the trade routes long established in ancient times. It is integral to the connectivity and prosperity of many communities. Thus, the camel becomes a symbol of endurance in adverse circumstances, and is a reminder to you of the strength in persevering to achieve your goals.
Riti (method): The Dokra method of metal-casting has been honed through millennia, primarily using wax molds. The famous Jali technique (Jali translates to ‘net’, denoting the intricate linework of the patches cast into the structure of the artefact) has a similarly impressive past.
