Originating from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and parts of Karnataka, the tradition of leather shadow puppetry dates back to the 3rd century BCE.

The lamp reflects the cultural importance of elephant leather lamp art and keeps alive the age-old methods passed down through generations of artisans. This traditional craft is more than decoration; it carries the spirit of a bygone era into modern home spaces.
Each Elephant Leather Lamp is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans. Artisans use goat or deer leather, carefully treated for translucency, forming the base for the exquisite design. The leather is hand-painted with natural dyes that enhance its beauty and authenticity. Detailed perforations are added to allow light to pass through, creating captivating shadows and colors.
The lamp’s floral motifs and elephant designs are a celebration of the region’s heritage, combining floral leather artwork with a vibrant palette. This fusion transforms a traditional shadow puppet into a luxurious, functional piece of lighting and decor.
