Tholu Bommalata, the traditional shadow puppetry of Andhra Pradesh, is an intricate art form crafted from translucent leather and brought to life through light, movement, and music. These vibrantly painted puppets often depict characters from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, their expressive joints allowing fluid, dramatic storytelling. Performed by skilled puppeteers who combine narration, song, and rhythm, Tholu Bommalata preserves centuriesold craftsmanship while continuing to captivate audiences with its luminous visual poetry.

The Maker
THOT Collectibles
"Art and design are about emotions, and rarely about trends. If you feel a connection to something, pause. If it evokes joy, it’s meant for you."
- Astha Khetan, Founder, The House of Things
To celebrate the launch of The House of Things Gallery, a group of 30+ eclectic visionaries from India and across the world created bespoke objects of design bringing alive their unique vision of ‘An Udaipur Sojourn’ as an ode to the heritage and artistry of the land. From art furniture and bespoke design objects to heritage textiles and sculptural lighting, each piece carries a story of modern luxury – whether it’s the precision of an artist’s handcraft or the brilliance of a finely-cut gemstone.
