About the Artform
The art of making lampshades has its origin in leather puppetry, popularly known as ''Tholubommalata'' (dance of leather puppets) in Telugu. It is one of the earliest performing arts. The perforation executed on the colored leather gives an appearance of rich ornamentation against the background of light.
Tholu Bommalata is considered as a part of cultural heritage since leather puppetry combines many different arts including painting, engraving, music, dance, acting, and storytelling with theater and also demands deft hand for manipulating puppets and puppet making.
