The handcrafted wooden toys from Karnataka’s famous ‘toy town’ of Channapatna, located between Bengaluru and Mysuru, are facing a battle. The once busy stores selling indigenous wooden toys now have fewer customers as they are unable to compete with the changing market dynamics. The new Bengaluru-Mysore expressway also by-passes the town leading to fewer people stopping by. Channapatna is listed under the World Trade Organisation’s Geographical Indication, which empowers its artisans with exclusive right to sell toys under the name of ‘Channapatna toys’. Yet they face competition from cheaper Chinese toys and wooden toys from other regions of India. It is said that Tipu Sultan introduced these to the region and the art form is at least 200 years old.
Are you willing to ditch plastic toys for wooden ones?
