Channapatna toys are a particular form of wooden toys that are manufactured in the town of Channapatna loacted on the Bangalore - Mysore road. This traditional craft involves lacquering the wood of the Wrightia tinctoria tree, colloquially called as the Aale mara (ivory-wood).
The Living Store, an eco lifestyle store in Chamrajpet, arranged for an exclusive workshop where we learnt this captivating craft form from the skilled artisans of Katerpillar (Channapatna).
