Chowki (Low surface)
Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre, CEPT University
Ahmedabad, India
In the Shekhawati region, the primary use of a chowki is as a low surface to dine on. However, it is also used in religious spaces to place offerings on, like in the Vagad region. This fairly new chowki was used in the courtyard of a temple with offerings (prasad and holy water) placed on it.
