Etikoppaka Pongal Harvest Set
Product Description
Celebrate the spirit of the harvest with this exquisite, handcrafted Etikoppaka Pongal Set. A true masterpiece of Andhra heritage, this miniature set depicts the traditional "Pongali" preparation, featuring a hand-painted lacquer pot, sugarcane stalks, and a decorated base reflecting festive muggulu (rangoli) patterns.
Each piece is meticulously turned on a lathe and finished using the age-old Etikoppaka technique, where natural dyes derived from seeds, lacquer, and roots are applied to soft Ankudu wood. The result is a high-gloss, glass-like finish that is entirely non-toxic and eco-friendly.
