Description
Add grace and tradition to your golu padi with this beautiful set of Kondapalli dolls. Kondapalli toys are made in Kondapalli village near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. This 400-year-old craft has a GI tag (Geographical Indication), which means it is a special, original art from that region.
These dolls are carved by hand from Tella Poniki, a soft and light wood, and painted by hand by skilled artisans. This set has a tall standing wedding couple.
The husband wears a rich maroon shirt with white stripes and a yellow necklace design, a white dhoti with a red border pattern and a white turban. He has a black moustache, a tilak on his forehead and maroon arms with yellow hands. The wife wears a white saree with a yellow border and orange flower prints, a white blouse, a yellow and red necklace and maroon earrings. Her black hair has a white bead design and a nethi chutti. Both dolls stand on round yellow and red bases with a smooth, shiny finish. As each doll is handmade and hand painted, the colour and design may vary slightly.
Wedding couple dolls are a must in every Navaratri golu. They stand for love, togetherness and a happy married life, which also makes them a lovely gift for newlyweds.
