Ornate Peacock Leather Puppetry | Bed Lamp
The Peacock Leather Puppetry Lamp celebrates the exquisite traditional Indian art form known as Leather Puppetry or Tholu Bommalata. Originating in Andhra Pradesh, and also popular across Telangana and Karnataka, this folk art is centuries old. It is a unique and culturally rich theatre of shadow puppetry that uses handcrafted translucent leather figures. These figures beautifully narrate timeless stories from Indian epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas.
Each Hand-painted leather peacock lamp features puppets meticulously hand-painted using natural dyes. The leather is perforated with intricate designs, permitting light to shine through. This effect produces magical plays of colors and shadows that bring the stories to life. When lit by an oil lamp or a modern light source, the puppets reveal vibrant hues that enhance storytelling's drama and enchantment.
Dating back to the 3rd century BCE, this traditional art flourished under the support of local rulers and temple patrons. Skilled artisans craft each puppet from treated goat or deer leather, processed carefully to gain translucency. They then decorate the leather with detailed patterns and rich colors, often incorporating ornamental motifs inspired by regional styles. The combination of artistic patterns and natural leather material creates an authentic and striking peacock leather artwork.
The Cultural and Educational Role of Leather Puppetry
Beyond entertainment, the leather puppetry tradition played a significant role as a medium of education, moral guidance, and spiritual connection for rural communities. Performances were traditionally accompanied by live folk music and narration in local dialects, making them a vibrant part of village festivals. The stories not only entertained but also passed on ethical and spiritual values through artistic expression.
In recognition of its rich cultural heritage, Andhra Pradesh Leather Puppetry has officially received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. This status safeguards the authenticity of the craft and honors the artisan families who keep this legacy alive. Today, many artisans adapt this ancient art into contemporary products, such as Peacock Leather Puppetry Lamps designs, leather lampshades, wall hangings, and other home décor items.
