When a toy becomes larger than life and attains the title 'art,' we know that the artisan behind its making has an exceptional eye for gold. This Kondapalli creation features a traditional South-Indian marriage ceremony. The bride and the groom are seated at the heart of the Mandapa, with smiles on their faces as the purohit's mesmerizing Sanskrit chants lead the service. No Indian marriage is complete without the Shehnai music that adds vigor to the day. The Kondapalli artisan recollects scenes of cultural significance in the Indian context and effortlessly makes them the heroes of his creative handicrafts. As we see the family gather around to witness the holy union carved flawlessly into the wood, one cannot dismiss the number of hours spent at the chisel.
