Molela Terracotta art originated in the village of Molela in Rajasthan, India, where the Kumhar community has been practicing it for centuries. Initially, it focused on crafting ritualistic votives and religious figurines for tribal communities across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. The art is renowned for its distinctive hollow relief technique, which gives depth and a three-dimensional effect to each piece. Over time, artisans expanded their craft to include decorative home items like tiles, panels, and wall art. Themes often reflect mythology, rural life, and vibrant folk narratives, blending traditional aesthetics with contemporary décor appeal.

Prosperity works closely with traditional Molela Terracotta artisans, a community that has preserved this craft for over 800 years in Rajasthan. The product comes directly from these artisan families, where both men and women actively participate in shaping intricate clay reliefs that carry stories of rituals, deities, and cultural symbolism.

Prosperity’s motivation in choosing Molela lies in its recognition as a Geographical Indication (GI) tagged craft and its role as a living heritage that embodies indigenous wisdom and traditions. By supporting this art form, Prosperity helps ensure that Molela does not fade into obscurity but instead finds new relevance in modern homes and collections. The impact on artisans is profound — providing sustainable livelihoods, preserving generational knowledge, and instilling pride in continuing a craft that is both culturally sacred and artistically significant.
