Answer:
Dhokra is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. One of the earliest known lost wax artefacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro
The process of making Dhokra is fascinating and uses only natural raw materials. The basic mould is made with fine sand (mostly found next to the river banks) and clay. Goat and cow dung or husk is added to the principal material, which is then layered with pure beeswax found in the jungle where the craftsmen reside.
