Hanumaan Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. This is the day on which Hanumaan, the greatest devotee of Lord Shree Raam, was born, millions of years back, during Trethaa Yug.

Following image is that of a handcrafted doll of Hanumaanji carrying Lord Shree Raam and his younger brother Lakshman on his shoulders. This doll is made by craftsfolk in a village known as Kondapalli, near Vijayawada, a city in Telengana, India. Almost all villagers in this wonderful area are occupied in doll making as their livelihood. If you like to buy any of their dolls, instead of buying it online through Amazon or any other media, kindly visit the area yourself and buy from the craftsfolk themselves. This will prevent third party profiteering at the cost of these village folks.
