Despite ancestral orientation in Dhokra craftsmanship, Butra Kansari was almost forced to give up on his dreams of pursuing the beautiful artform due to poverty. In a village like Kankeri, with no basic amenities, creating livelihood from art was simply not an option. Discovering the village of Dhokra craftsmen nestled in the forests of Kalahandi, Vedanta initiated a project to revive the 4000-year-old dying artform and in the process, give the artisans a thriving livelihood. Supported with raw materials, training in contemporary designs, market linkage, etc. Butra, and others like him worked hard to build a name for themselves in Dhokra art. Like his story?
