Ramesh Kumar

Dhokra Metal Casting & Brass Work

Jodhpur, Rajasthan · 38 years of practice

"My grandfather taught me that the metal remembers the hand that shaped it. When I work, I am not just making a piece — I am leaving something of myself in it. That is what makes it alive."

Ramesh Kumar has been practicing Dhokra casting for over three decades, inheriting the craft from his father and grandfather. His brass work is known for its extraordinary weight and warmth — each piece made using the ancient lost-wax technique.

Why Flawlessness
is not our standard.

In a world saturated with sterile, machine-stamped replication, we celebrate the tool mark, the grain variance, and the raw character of authentic craft.

Every QalaCore creation bears the quiet imperfections of its making. The slight asymmetry in sand-cast brass, the natural split in solid Sheesham wood, and the weight variation of hammered iron are not defects. They are the living fingerprints of master artisans—proof that your piece has a soul.

Hand-ForgedSand-CastChiseled Wood

Patina & Pour

Lost-wax brass casting leaves minute cooling ripples and granular pitting. Rather than polishing these away, we leave them raw to capture the heat of the foundry.

Chisel & Grain

No two blocks of timber absorb pigment identically. Natural knots, raw chiseled ridges, and wood-grain swells are preserved to let the organic history of the tree breathe.

Hammer & Forge

Our iron is beaten by hand over open furnaces. The scale marks, subtle shifts in thickness, and dark charcoal highlights tell the raw story of fire and heavy iron-smithing.

Six decades.
One unbroken belief.

1960s

The Foundry. The Beginning.

A precision foundry is established in Jodhpur, supplying cast iron, brass, aluminium, and gun metal components to MES, ONGC, and PWD. Quality becomes the only language spoken here.

1970s

Craft Enters the Workshop.

Jodhpur is alive with art and culture. Inspired by the city's creative renaissance, the foundry's precision is turned toward handicraft — wood, aluminium, and mixed-material artworks. The engineer's eye meets the artisan's hand.

2000s

Creativity. Quality. Growth.

The second generation deepens the craft — expanding the product range, raising quality benchmarks, and building relationships that last decades. God idols, Deepak sets, cow & calf — each piece a study in care.

Now

कलाCore is Born.

The third generation brings sixty years of mastery into the digital age. Wooden mandirs, iron home décor, wall clocks, vastu items, and premium gift collections — delivered directly to homes across India. The legacy, finally, at your doorstep.
