Originating in Andhra Pradesh and nearby regions, this folk art is among the oldest performing arts in India.
Tholu Bommalata is a traditional shadow puppetry style using delicate leather figures. These narrate stories from epics such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas, bringing ancient tales to vibrant life. Each piece is carefully hand-painted with natural dyes, pierced to allow captivating plays of colors and shadows. The lamp's magical effect shines when illuminated with oil or modern light sources, making it a captivating artistic piece.
This decorative piece draws from a rich cultural history dating to the 3rd century BCE. Supported by rulers and temple traditions, leather puppetry grew as an art. Artisans use treated goat or deer leather, processed to become translucent and strong.
After preparation, every piece is painted with intricate patterns and vibrant florals combined with elephant figures. This piece is a stellar example of skillful traditional art, with motifs inspired by regional styles enhancing its unique charm.
Leather puppetry served communities as education, moral guidance, and spiritual connection tools. Performances featured live music and storytelling in local dialects, creating immersive cultural events.
