Dhola maru

Dhola maru is a hand-carved wooden decorative panel depicting traditional folk narratives from Rajasthan and Gujarat, often illustrating romantic or mythological tales. The wood used is teak or sheesham, sourced from sustainably managed forests in northern India. Each piece is carved using chisels and gouges, with no power tools used in the final detailing. Surface finish is achieved with natural oils and beeswax, avoiding synthetic varnishes or lacquers.

The carvings feature intricate openwork patterns with depth ranging from 3 mm to 12 mm, depending on the design complexity. Dimensions are typically between 60 cm and 120 cm in height, with thickness of 10 mm to 15 mm. Wood grain orientation is aligned to maximize structural integrity and minimize warping. No wood fillers or engineered composites are used. Each panel is unique, with variations in carving style, motif density, and surface texture reflecting artisanal handwork.

Dhola maru is purchased by interior designers, boutique hotels, cultural museums, and high-end home décor retailers in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Buyers typically order in quantities of 10 to 50 units per shipment for retail display. The product is shipped in custom corrugated cardboard boxes with internal foam padding and corner protectors. Trade terms are FOB Bangalore port, with payment via T/T or LC. Lead time is 30 to 45 days from order confirmation.

Hobitute Art And Media Services Pvt. Ltd. is based in Bangalore, Karnataka, and operates as an imported-tier supplier of handcrafted wooden artworks. The company’s profile indicates it sources finished pieces from independent artisans in Rajasthan and Gujarat, rather than operating a manufacturing facility. It does not claim ownership of carving workshops, artisan training programs, or production volume. The supplier’s address is verified, and it is registered under Indian corporate law.

The supplier’s listing does not reference any certifications, quality control processes, or artisan partnerships. Response rate and average response time are not available, suggesting limited buyer engagement infrastructure. It does not claim to produce the items in-house, nor does it specify the number of artisans it works with. Its business model appears to be aggregation and export of existing handmade pieces, with no claims regarding design originality or proprietary patterns.
