Craftsmanship & Origin
This toy is crafted in the town of Channapatna, which is famous for its traditional wooden toy-making craft. Artisans use ivory wood, a soft and fine-grained wood, to carve and shape the toy components.
The pieces are then colored using natural lac and vegetable-based dyes through a traditional lacquer-turning technique. This process creates the smooth glossy finish that Channapatna toys are known for.
