Add drama and tradition to your walls with this Kathakali Face Tholu Bommalata Wall Hanging. Handcrafted by artisans, it captures the vibrant expressions of Indian folk theatre. A unique blend of colors and culture, it’s perfect for adding a striking ethnic touch to your living space.
Tholu Bommalata wall hangings are a beautiful evolution of the ancient shadow puppetry tradition of Andhra Pradesh, India. Originally, Tholu Bommalata puppets were handcrafted from treated leather, painted with natural dyes, and intricately perforated to let light pass through, creating mesmerizing shadows that brought epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata to life. As the practice of traditional shadow theatre declined, artisans reimagined this heritage craft into stunning handmade leather wall art for modern homes. These wall hangings retain the same fine detailing, vibrant colors, and storytelling motifs of the puppets, but are now celebrated as timeless pieces of Indian wall décor. Each artwork not only adds elegance to interiors but also carries forward the legacy of handmade Indian craftsmanship, blending tradition with contemporary style.
