VILLAGE SETUP FOR SANKRANTI

Kondapalli Bommalu are crafted from soft Tella Poniki wood found in Kondapalli Hills. Parts are carved separately, joined with makku paste (tamarind seed powder & sawdust), and decorated with oil/water-colors or vegetable dyes/enamel paints. Artisans create mythology, animal, bird, and rural life figures, like Dasavataram and dancing dolls.
