About this product
Dhokra casting builds a wax model, encases it in clay and pours molten metal into the space where the wax was. The clay shell has to be broken to get the figure out, which means no two castings are ever the same and the mould cannot be reused.

Standards
What we check before a product is listed
Four things we do not compromise on, because a handmade product is judged on all of them.
No preservatives in food
Chutneys and jams are made without vinegar or stabilisers. Bakery is dispatched within a week of baking.
Azo-free dyes in textiles
Reactive and natural dyes only, printed and dried in shade so the colour bonds to the fibre instead of sitting on it.
Cure times are respected
Six weeks for cold-process soap, a full day of sun for every papad. Shortening these is how a handmade product is made to look handmade.
Batch-tested where it matters
Honey, ghee and spices are tested for adulteration before packing, and the report is available on request.
Questions about this item
Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp and a person will answer, usually within a few hours.
Ask about this productIs the patina a defect?
No. Uneven colouring is characteristic of lost-wax casting. Polishing with a soft cloth will brighten it if you prefer.
Who actually makes these products?
Women-led Self Help Groups registered under NRLM, working from their own villages. Every product page names the group, the village and the district it came from, and you can read the full group story on its own page.
How is a Saahvi price worked out?
The group quotes a price that covers its material cost and the wage it wants to pay. We add packing, courier and our commission on top and show the split. Groups can change their quote at any time, and we do not negotiate it downwards.
How long will my order take?
Most food and personal care items are dispatched within 48 hours and delivered in 4–7 days. Large textile items such as quilts are stitched to order and take 7–10 days. The product page shows the estimate for the item you are looking at.

“I bought the urad dal papad expecting the usual packet. It puffs up properly and you can taste the pepper. I have ordered it three times now and sent the honey to my mother.”

“We ordered 120 hampers for Diwali and asked for the card to be customised. They came in jute boxes, on time, and nobody threw the packaging away.”
