Kondapalli Toys

The Kondapalli toys are made from soft wood known as Tella Poniki which are found in nearby Kondapalli Hills. The wood is first carved out and then the edges are smooth finished. The later step involves coloring with either oil and water color or vegetables dyes and enamel paintings are applied based on the type of the toys. The artisans mainly work on producing figures of mythology, animals, birds, bullock carts, rural life etc., and the most notable one is Dasavatharam sets,dancing dolls,etc...
