Witnessing the Magic of Kondapalli Toys!

On 17th Sep 2024, the ACIC KL Startups Foundation team visited Kondapalli village to witness the magic of its iconic wooden toys. From the careful selection of Tella Poniki wood to the intricate carving, painting, and detailing, every toy reflects the rich tradition and craftsmanship passed down through generations.

During our visit, we interacted with local toy makers who shared the challenges they face—such as the decline in younger artisans, increasing competition, and the shift towards simpler designs. However, they are adapting by exploring online markets to reach a wider audience and keep this beautiful craft alive.
Let’s come together to support these artisans and ensure Kondapalli Toys continue to thrive in the digital era! Share your love for handmade crafts and support traditional arts today! 🌿
