The elephant with the Ambari is one of the most beloved Kondapalli toys, chosen for most Kondapalli Bomma displays and Dussehra decorations. Famed for their distinctive handicrafts that carry the true essence of the Indian experience, the artisans of Kondapalli put their hearts into the process — right from the local sourcing of wood to the rendering and polishing. The cultural theme of this particular handicraft makes it a warm gesture to present it on special occasions. The masters behind the making of this handmade toy come from Andhra Pradesh. Elephant Ambaris were a sign of royal tradition during the Dussehra festival, especially in Mysore. Animals have always had a close tie with the indigenous people of ancient India. As history takes us through a remarkable number of references to this gentle giant, the Kondapalli artisan takes up the much-needed job of capturing these cultural moments in wood. The toys designed by these Kondapalli artisans offer a refreshing perspective on the true joys of handicraft. With both the materials and themes being organic, these masterpieces are worth treasuring. What India needs today is a revival of these ancient handicrafts. At Hastha Kalalu, we pick the well-deserving Kondapalli toys straight from the diligent artisans who patiently craft them and deliver them to the comfort of your homes.
