PM Modi gifts Brass Dokra Peacock themed boat to Thailand PM, silver-gold cufflinks to spouse of Thai PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented exquisite gifts showcasing the grandeur of Indian handicrafts to the Thailand Prime Minister and her spouse during his visit to Bangkok. PM Modi gifted a Dokra Brass Peacock Boat with a Tribal Rider to PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The boat is a stunning example of a traditional Indian metal craft, originating from the tribal communities of Chhattisgarh. It was made using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, with each piece handcrafted and unique. Notably, the sculpture features a peacock-shaped boat, symbolising grace and cultural imagination, with intricate patterns and colorful lacquer inlays. A tribal rider calmly rowing represents the harmony between humans and nature, a central theme in Dokra art.
