Which among the following paintings depicts endangered animals in large murals?

Ganju
Dhokra
Kuri
Turi

The correct answer is B. Dhokra.

Dhokra is a traditional metal casting technique practiced in the Indian states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh. It is a lost-wax casting technique, in which the desired object is first modeled in wax, then coated with clay and fired. The wax melts and runs out, leaving a hollow mold. Molten metal is then poured into the mold and allowed to cool. The mold is then broken open, and the finished object is removed.

Dhokra is used to create a variety of objects, including jewelry, utensils, and sculptures. It is particularly known for its depiction of animals, which are often shown in large murals. These murals are often used to decorate temples and other public buildings.
