These towering sculptures embody the divine authority and spiritual power of tribal deities or royal figures, adorned with elaborate ceremonial regalia that speaks to centuries of cultural sophistication.
Each figurine is meticulously crafted using the revered Dhokra lost-wax casting technique, requiring extraordinary skill to achieve such intricate detailing.

The result is a breathtaking display of metalworking mastery that has remained unchanged for over 4000 years.
The commanding sun disc crowns radiating from each figure's head symbolize divine enlightenment, cosmic energy, and royal authority in tribal cosmology. These elaborate headdresses, featuring radiating spokes and central medallions, represent the connection between earthly rulers and celestial powers. The figures stand in dignified poses, adorned with traditional jewelry including ornate necklaces, armlets, and ceremonial garments featuring geometric patterns that reflect the artistic vocabulary of Chhattisgarh's indigenous communities.
Every detail tells a story - from the serene facial expressions suggesting wisdom and benevolence, to the intricate body ornaments representing status and spiritual significance. The cylindrical bases feature decorative bands and traditional motifs, elevating these figures both literally and symbolically as objects of reverence and artistic admiration.
These ceremonial figurines likely represent temple deities, tribal chieftains, or mythological figures central to Bastar's rich cultural heritage. Their imposing presence and elaborate decoration suggest their use in religious ceremonies, royal courts, or as guardian figures protecting sacred spaces.
