Devrai Art Village

Devrai Art Village The Birth place of patented Rock Dhokra! Devrai Art Village is a non profit initiative to connect with nature and celebrate creativity.

A core group of highly skilled Adivasi craftsmen and artists from the naxalite affected areas of Gadchiroli & Chattisgarh find a livelihood and a safe refuge here in Panchgani. The unique and distinctive style of our product range comes out through combinations of different mediums such as iron, brass, stone, wood, bamboo and fabric. We believe in empowering craftsmen and not in doing charity. Tod

ays idea of "development" has broken the link which connects us to the whole. In modern times nature is commodified and relationships have turned into transactions. Devrai Art Village attemps to mend this broken link and make the process of creation a joyous experience.

Panchtantra relived!
Through stories, knowledge turns into experience rather than information.
In today’s world, where young people are surrounded by fragmented digital stimuli and shrinking attention spans, storytelling becomes even more important. It restores depth, listening, empathy, and imagination.

This tiny Indian Roofed Turtle is a freshwater turtle and often sold as a pet in households where the natural habitat cannot be replicated. This Turtle lost its mate and would have possibly perished due to lack of sunlight amongst other things!

The traditional Kutch bells get new stories at Devrai!
The bells are painted with different stories and the hangers continue the same story. The hangers created with beaten Iron, Copper and sometimes even Wood have birds, flowers or fruits made using the Dhokra technique of metal casting.
At Devrai it is often about evolving the traditional into a new avatar!

These are whispers from Nature that we translate into our jewellery design, whether it is a humble leaf or the texture of a Shikakai pod!
No wonder, Sayalee, an Early Years Educator, couldn't get the piece she had fallen for, out of her mind for three days and finally bought it before leaving!
These are hand crafted pieces, the metal pendants are all cast here showcasing our innovations in evolving the traditional Dhokra Art. Jewellery designing has become a means of becoming the voice of Silent Nature and also empowering women artists, some from the remote areas of Chattisgarh, Gadchiroli, Uttarakhand and Orissa!
Support a cause! Sustain a heritage!
