Procedure: The base is plywood. Draw the outline on it and cut it in the required shape. I have given elevations at certain places by sticking thin pieces of thermocol on the wood. Now mix 1cup marbel powder,1/2 cup chalk powder,2table spoon of p.o.p and see that there are no lumps, and then add fevicol to make a smooth paste like batter. Spread this on the board fully using the patti scrapper. Allow it to dry. Smoothen the surface of the board using sand paper. Next, mix french chalk powder, corn flour and plaster of paris in the ratio 4:2:1 and fevicol and make a dough. U can use mseal if u can afford [i dont know whether u know abt this: once u mix the mseal it will dry up very soon... so mix in small quantities and use. if u r using the dough, it must be kept in an air tight container [try to use it within a week]]. Using the clay create the design and stick it to the wood using fevicol. Then I painted the whole work in black. After it dried i painted it with dull gold in such a way that the black is visible at few places in order to give the ethnic look. Thts it! Jharokha is ready!
sorry... i misspelled the word "marble". Marble powder, French Chalk powder and ordinary chalk powder are available in art-craft shops [Raja Threads in T Nagar [Ranganathan Street], R R Fancy, Parrys (next to Saravana Bhavan)- both in Chennai] and in few hardware shops. I dont know where you can get them in Hyderabad. The chalk powder used for this work is different from what is used in school.
hi again me.what a fantastic work.really i feel jellous to u.from where can i get the design?and cutting of wood and all?what is the mm of wood?sorry for asking too many questions.
You just need to draw the design on a chart paper and give it to a good carpenter for him to cut the desired shape in wood. Wood thickness is your option. But remember that, thicker the wood - the heavier your work would be. PS: Feel free to ask me any question regarding my art works :)
your work is so beautiful...... I have been searching the net for clues on how to make a jharoka and I am so glad to come upon your site. I had one question for you, thos designs on the jharoka... do you have some kind of molds for it . And also the peacock back, how did you do that. Plase do post a detailed tutorial. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful work.

Thts it! Jharokha is ready!
Thanks Mathu.
That was very sweet of you to respond so quickly.
Dont mind me asking a few more questions - I am ignorant about this procedure.
Do we get the marbel powder in sops?
And is teh chalk powder you refer to just powdered chalk we use in classrooms?
And what is french chalk powder? Where can I get this from?
