Light Tella Poniki Wood

The Kondapalli toy-making process is a centuries-old craft originating from Andhra Pradesh, known for its intricate wooden figurines. Artisans use Tella Poniki wood, a soft and lightweight wood, which is easy to carve and shape. The process begins with carving the basic form, followed by meticulous detailing to bring the figures to life. The pieces are then joined using natural adhesives and polished to smooth perfection. Artisans hand-paint the toys using vibrant, eco-friendly colors, often depicting mythological characters, rural life, and festive scenes. The final touch includes adding fine embellishments and intricate patterns, making each Kondapalli toy a unique work of art, celebrated for its cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
