Handmade Wooden Toys From India - A Photo Tour

This merry go round is very similar to the one you spot at fairs in Indian villages. Usually turned by hand, the carousel is the centre of attraction in the fair.

This is a photo tour of handmade wooden toys from India. These toys reflect deep cultural and traditional values as they are part of an age old toy making art. The brightly colored toys are hand crafted out of wood, and then lacquered with paints. Most toys are based on the local people, their way of living and their traditional costumes.
