Tippu Sultan was a famous king. He was a good ruler. He
loved children very much. He brought Persian toy makers to
his kingdom. Persian toy makers trained local artisans. They
left this wonderful art in our state.
Once I went to Channapatna. Channapatna is also known
as ‘Gombegala Ooru’. I saw ‘MAYA ORGANIC’ (an NGO) there.
In ‘Maya Organic’, people worked hard to get money from this
great art.
Do you know how the people were making toys? People
used to chip away on a piece of wood. But now in ‘Maya
Organic’ workers chip away on power lathes and make toys.
Channapatna toys are special. They are special because
vegetable colours are used in them. These toys are sent to
foreign countries. But there is every chance of rejection if they
are not in good condition.
