Hand-Painted Fish Leather Lamp Shade – Tholu Bommalata Folk Art

I am a traditional leather puppet and leather painting artist dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Indian folk art. With years of experience in handcrafted leather art, I create intricate works inspired by Hindu mythology, spiritual themes, and traditional storytelling. My artworks combine vibrant natural colors, detailed craftsmanship, and narrative compositions that reflect India's timeless artistic traditions. Over the years, my work has been exhibited at various national and state-level exhibitions, earning recognition including the State Award (2012) and Best Stall Awards from institutions such as Chitrakala Parishath, NIFT, Delhi Haat, and Gandhi Shilpa Bazaar. Through my art, I strive to keep traditional craftsmanship alive while sharing its beauty with contemporary audiences.
