Explore the unique artistry of the town

Mahabaleshwar is known for being a hub for outdoor adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers, but the town also boasts an extensive cultural legacy in arts. Local art and craft reflect unique creative traditions and styles of its creative community.

Rock Dhokra

Devrai Art Village in Panchgani is a non-profit organisation committed to preserving indigenous art and craft, one such creation being Rock Dhokra (an innovative combination of metal and stone currently under patent review). Rock Dhokra uses the lost wax technique to combine stone and brass into an exquisite work that seamlessly marries tradition and innovation. Devrai Art Village's talented artists work on crafting this tangible shape by shaping stone around an inert core piece to form its visible shape. Addition of stone sculpture adds another dimension to designs with stunning creations, like this collection made by traditional artisans in Panchgani's hills. Come visit their village and witness first-hand this incredible combination of art and technology while appreciating their beauty and creativity!
