Step into the enchanting world of Channapatna Toys, a heritage craft that traces its origins to the time of Tipu Sultan. Known as the "Land of Toys," the town of Channapatna in Karnataka is home to this vibrant tradition. The craft flourished under Tipu Sultan’s patronage, with Persian artisans teaching the locals the delicate art of wooden toy making. Bavas Miyan, revered as the father of Channapatna toys, further advanced the craft by introducing new techniques and supporting local artisans. These wooden toys are skillfully crafted using traditional lathe-turning methods and are celebrated for their vibrant colors and intricate designs. Made with natural dyes and non-toxic materials, the collection includes jewelry boxes, mirrors, keychain holders, lamps, nameplates, wall clocks, flower vases, and traditional board games.
