The craft gets its name from the original metal smiths of Bengal, who are called Dhokras (a tribe).

In this type of metal casting, a lost wax technique is used which is also called as hollow casting. The method is used to produce figures of gods and goddesses, different types of lamps and jewellery. Anklets, necklaces and bangles are the most common jewellery items that are produced through this process.
