{"product_id":"wooden-gangaur-dolls-blue-gold-chowki","title":"Gangaur Dolls in Blue and Gold on Chowki Stands, Hand-painted Rajasthani Wooden Dolls","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnyone who has walked through the old city of Jodhpur knows this shade of blue. It’s the indigo-washed lanes below Mehrangarh. We painted this Isar and Gauri pair in that blue and added gold buttis, the way you’d see zari scattered across a festive ghagra. Maroon and gold run down the centre panels and fine white dot-work outlines each piece of jewellery. Together they make a pair that feels royal and still easy to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIsar wears a long angrakha with a maroon patka at the waist. He has a red pagdi banded in gold, a tilak on his forehead and a proud curled moustache. Gauri wears a maroon choli and a flared blue ghagra. Her nath, maang tikka and layered haar are all picked out by hand. Both stand with their hands held out in welcome. That’s how Gangaur pairs are carried through the streets of Jaipur and Udaipur each spring, when women pray to Gauri for a happy marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach doll stands on its own red wooden chowki, painted with small white floral motifs. The low stools lift the pair just enough to give them presence on a shelf or puja ledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach set starts as solid wood. Rajasthani artisans cut it by hand, then shape, sand and finish it before the painting begins. Every face, border and dot is painted by hand, with no stencils and no machines. Small differences between one pair and the next are part of what you’re paying for, not flaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dolls look most at home on a console table, puja shelf or bookshelf, or as the centrepiece of a festive table. They make a meaningful wedding, anniversary or housewarming gift. For NRI families, they’re a piece of Rajasthan to keep on display far from home.
