Gangaur Dolls in Red and Gold – Hand-painted Rajasthani Wooden Dolls
Description
Red and gold is the palette of a Rajasthani wedding trousseau – the bridal red of a Jodhpuri saree edged in real gota-patti gold work. This Red and Gold Gangaur Doll set from EthniiChic is hand-painted to echo that festive, auspicious combination, making it one of the most sought-after colourways for wedding season and Diwali gifting alike.
Every EthniiChic Gangaur Doll set begins as a block of solid mango wood, hand-cut by Rajasthani artisans before it is shaped, sanded and handed over to the painters who bring it to life stroke by stroke. No machine touches these dolls – the slight variation from one face to the next is proof of the human hand behind it, not a flaw. Each set is sold as a pair, the Isar (groom) and Gauri (bride), exactly as they are carried through the streets of Udaipur and Jodhpur during the Gangaur procession every spring. Given its bridal red-and-gold palette, this set is especially popular as a wedding or anniversary gift.
Standing at 12 inches in height (including the stand) and 4 inches in width, this pair works beautifully on a console table, a puja shelf, a bookshelf styling vignette, or as the centrepiece of a festive tablescape.
For NRI households recreating the warmth of a Rajasthani home abroad, or for anyone gifting a piece of living Indian heritage, the Red and Gold Gangaur Dolls from EthniiChic make a striking, conversation-starting addition.
A distressed, antique-finish look can also be requested in the notes to seller section at checkout.
