🪵✨ What’s Etikoppaka All About?

Straight from the 🌿 lush banks of the River Varaha in Andhra Pradesh, Etikoppaka is a tiny village with big artistic energy 🎨💥 Known for its iconic Etikoppaka Bommalu (wooden toys & figurines), this place is all about tradition, color, and creativity!

Here’s the cool part: every piece is made using natural, organic dyes 🌈💚 and polished with a special tree sap called lac, which comes from a resin secreted by tiny insects 🐜✨ (yes, really!). It’s what gives that smooth, glossy finish you can’t stop staring at 😍

And the best part? These beauties are handmade 💪🏽 by amazing women artisans, keeping the tradition alive while supporting local communities
