Traditional Description:
Wooden dolls found their market especially in rural fairs for centuries. Traditionally the crafts persons are specialized in making the wooden owl; considered auspicious for homes as it is the 'vahana' or escort of the goddess Lakshmi. Apart from these, the crafts persons used to make ‘Rashiputul’ (figures of Radha-Krishna on a single block of wood), Durga, Laksmi, Saraswati, figures of the King, the Queen, and of owls.
Contemporary Description:
The owl, with its unique design and colour, is the brand product of the village. On the white background of the owl is painted a distinctive design of red, green yellow and black lines.
