Jharoka


This is one of the projects that kept me busy the past weeks.. I had been going to learn how to make the three dimensional art work.. this particular one is called Jharoka and is said to be very popular in Rajasthan , Jaipur etc

I have seen many versions made from wood, with stone inlays, as mirror frames, etc..

this one was made with plywood as base. It was great learning how to make it. I learnt many techniques and I really love the bronze color.

Let me know what you think..

Meanwhile, I have two more works in progress, and am really enjoying myself.

  1. Did you use ceramic on plywood for making it?

  2. Your Jharokha is really looking awesome.

    I want to make/decorate a small temple using this technique. But have never done it before. Can you post some guidelines about the procedure.
