Description

Tholu means leather in Telugu and bommalu means dolls. This form of art is believed to have originated in 200 BC during the rule of the Satavahana dynasty. This form of craft is inextricably linked to the state’s traditional folk and cultural expression, called Tholu Bommalata. Also known as Leather puppetry, this form of shadow-puppet theatre is popular in several regions of Andhra Pradesh. These puppets are painted according to the nature of the roles with locally made natural colours. Artists use traditional tools with skilled workmanship.
