Handcrafted Etikoppaka Wooden Kumkum Set

Handmade in the renowned GI-tagged craft village of Etikoppaka in Andhra Pradesh, this traditional wooden container set features twin globe-shaped holders topped with sculpted bird lids, anchored gracefully on a leaf-shaped base adorned with decorative mango motifs.

Turned carefully on wood lathes from soft Ankudi Karra wood, each piece is coated with 100% natural, non-toxic vegetable dyes and organic lacquer. The resulting high-gloss finish highlights rich, vibrant hues while offering an eco-friendly accessory for sacred home rituals and festive occasions.
