Soldier with flag and gun: Dhokra by Kunal Rana

Renowned artist Kunal Rana in his Dhokra art artfully crafts a soldier standing holding a flag and a gun in one hand and other equipment in another hand with a lost wax casting technique. The soldier holding a flag symbolizes patriotism and love for one’s country. The gun and other equipment represent the readiness to defend the nation and its people. This representation celebrates the sacrifices and dedication of soldiers in safeguarding their homeland. The soldier’s pose and equipment highlight his heroism and bravery. The flag symbolizes a sense of duty and honor, while the gun and other equipment convey the soldier’s preparedness to face challenges and adversity. Dhokra artists sometimes use their work to comment on contemporary social or political issues. In this context, the soldier’s depiction is a commentary on the role of the military in society, the impact of armed conflict, or the need for peace and unity.
