The Legacy of Kondapalli Toys

Kondapalli toys carry a rich heritage of over 400 years, originating from the quaint village of Kondapalli in NTR district, near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. The artisans residing in Bommala Colony (literally translating to "Toys Colony") have been practising this traditional craft for generations, passing down their skills from father to son.

What makes these toys truly special is the unique production technique. The artisans use Tella Poniki (white sander wood), locally known as Ponuku, which is exceptionally lightweight and soft. The wood is first seasoned, then carved using simple tools, and finally coated with sawdust paste mixed with tamarind seed powder. This mixture gives the toys their distinctive smooth finish before they are painted with vibrant enamel colours.
