Kondapalli bommalu are exquisite handicrafts originating in Kondapalli, Andhra Pradesh. This grand Pelli Pallaki toy is carved out of white wood by the experienced artisans of the region with an impressive eye for detail. The Kondapalli artisan skilfully renders this entourage of singers and dancers accompanying the newlyweds with a vibrant colour palette. Unlike the highly industrialized production of art today, every product of Kondapalli toymaking has a story, a creator, and a dream behind it. Taming wood into toys of such delightful subjects is indeed an art to conserve, let alone praise. The cultural theme of the toy makes it a thoughtful celebratory gift at weddings. This toy is no stranger to South India's Bommala Koluvu gathering around the time of Sankranti.
