PM Modi Gifts Brass Dokra Peacock Boat to Thailand’s PM – A Timeless Tribute to India’s Tribal Art

In a moment that blended tradition with diplomacy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently gifted a handcrafted brass Dokra Peacock-themed boat to the Prime Minister of Thailand, along with elegant silver-gold cufflinks for his spouse. These weren't just ceremonial tokens—they were a window into India's ancient artistry, a celebration of culture passed down through generations of tribal hands.

What made this gesture truly significant wasn’t the value of the metal, but the value of the message: India’s cultural soul lives in its villages—in the art, craft, and hands of its indigenous people.

Dokra: A Legacy Cast in Brass

The Dokra Peacock Boat wasn’t selected at random. Dokra, a traditional metalcraft practiced by India’s tribal communities, has been around for over 4,000 years. With roots tracing back to the Indus Valley Civilization, this art form stands out for its rustic charm, raw textures, and storytelling motifs—depicting animals, nature, and folklore.

What makes Dokra so special is not just its history, but the fact that it still survives in today’s world—thanks to the commitment of tribal artisans and platforms that support them.

Aadivasi.org – A Platform Rooted in Purpose

At Aadivasi.org, we don’t just admire traditional crafts—we help bring them back to life.

We are India’s first Impact Commerce platform, dedicated to empowering tribal communities and reviving hidden art forms. Many of the artisans we work with have inherited their skills from generations past, but until recently, they had no access to markets, recognition, or fair income.

Through Aadivasi.org, these artisans now create handmade products that reflect the richness of their culture—from brass Dokra sculptures, terracotta wall pieces, and jewelry, to textiles like Kantha-stitch sarees, tribal paintings, eco-friendly jute accessories, and more

Your Contribution Creates Real Impact

Here’s what makes our platform different: every contribution you make goes toward a cause—and in return, you receive a handmade product created by a tribal artisan.

This is how our ImpactCommerce® model works:

• You contribute ₹200 or more toward a cause like:
• Mid-day meals for children
• Sanitary pad distribution in tribal regions
• Education support for tribal children
• Tree plantation for environmental sustainability
• You get a gift handmade by an artisan, as a thank you for your support—worth the same amount you contributed.

✨ It’s not just a donation. It’s not just a gift. It’s a movement.
With every order, you’re uplifting a community and preserving a piece of India’s heritage.

More Than Shopping – It’s Cultural Revival

For artisans who were once on the edge of cultural and economic extinction, Aadivasi.org provides a lifeline—an opportunity to earn, grow, and feel proud of their identity. They no longer need to abandon their traditions for survival. Instead, their heritage becomes their strength.

So when our Prime Minister presents a handcrafted piece of tribal art on the world stage, it sends a clear message: India’s roots are its pride—and they deserve to be seen, shared, and celebrated.
