Channapatna toys are a particular form of wooden toys and dolls that are manufactured in the town of Channapatna in the Ramanagara district of Karnataka state, India. This traditional craft is protected as a geographical indication (GI) under the World Trade Organization, administered by the Government of Karnataka.[1] As a result of the popularity of these toys, Channapatna is known as the Gombegala Ooru (toy-town) of Karnataka.[2] Traditionally, the work involved lacquering the wood of the Wrightia tinctoria tree,[3] colloquially called Aale mara (ivory-wood).[4]
