It looks nice... I think its not common...
Elephants portray a royal charm the candle holder will enhance the beauty of any setting with its elegance
The candle holder is a charming way of decorating a room and the elephant gives a traditional look to any background. The elegance of this candle holder is quite fascinating.
I like it since Its got a traditional look n useful too!
Absolutely love the look and its symbolism.. the wise Elephant that brings light to our home
Theres something irrestible about a royal gold 'aana kutty' (baby elepahant) gently carrying its load for the house it belongs to - light for all!!

Elephants are huge and majestic and there is always an aura of royalty in them.So there you have a Royal Dhokra elephantic candle holder sitting in the living room.
your blog is cool
Royal Tusker! This can blend into any setting....
Awww...its soo cute! Definitely very creative and intricate at the same time! This piece has a very "awwwism" quality! :)
Firstlt thanks for the giveaway...this is my third attempt at pisting a comment....
goes to show how much i like this artefact....
Infact I love elephants....u will see the craze when u visit my home.....so much so that u will find elephant toys and printed tees for my 7month old...and no this affinity does not stem from the fact that i was addressed as one as a kid...lol
The Rain and Storm God, is sometimes depicted riding on an elephant with a lightning bolt on his forehead. this piece of art absolutely depicts the same.
This Dhokra candle stand is an example of the beautiful art and craft that our country has to offer. A little something that lights up my living room or dining table. I am sure it will bring on a cosy, romantic evening.
