SADARAM Traditional Gondhali Set Handcrafted Earthen Devotional Folk Art (Pack of 1 Set)

SADARAM Traditional Gondhali Set is a handcrafted earthen devotional folk art creation made by skilled women artisans of Sadaram Mahila Self Help Group from Wardha district, Maharashtra. This detailed set represents the Gondhali tradition, a sacred folk performance associated with the worship of Goddess Bhavani and Lord Mallhari in rural Maharashtra.

The Gondhali tradition holds deep religious and cultural significance, where devotees perform ritual songs, dances, and musical offerings during religious ceremonies, temple festivals, and jatras. This handcrafted set captures the spiritual atmosphere of such gatherings through expressive figurines and traditional attire.

Idol Details: This Gondhali Set (Pack of 1) includes five Mallhari male bhakts performing devotional rituals, one lady devotee participating in the ceremony, and one central idol of Goddess Bhavani Aai placed on a decorated throne. Together, the figurines symbolise devotion, faith, ritual performance, and community worship.

Each figurine in the set is individually moulded from natural clay, sun-dried, and carefully hand-painted by SHG women artisans. Minor variations in colour, texture, and detailing are natural characteristics of handmade craftsmanship and enhance the authenticity of the set.
