Kondapalli Bommalu are traditional wooden toys handcrafted in Kondapalli, a town in Andhra Pradesh, India. Made from softwood called Tella Poniki, these lightweight figures are carved into shapes that depict mythological characters, village life, animals, and cultural icons. Artisans assemble the parts using a natural adhesive made from tamarind seed paste and sawdust, then paint them with vibrant natural dyes and enamel colors. Each toy reflects the artisan’s skill and storytelling tradition, making them both artistic and culturally meaningful.
These toys hold special significance during festivals like Sankranti and Navaratri, where they are displayed in decorative setups called Bommala Koluvu. Their charm lies in their simplicity and the cultural narratives they represent. Recognized under the Geographical Indications (GI) tag, Kondapalli Bommalu are protected as a unique regional craft. Despite competition from mass-produced toys, ongoing efforts aim to preserve and promote this heritage, ensuring the legacy of Kondapalli artisans continues to thrive.
