After the famous temple and Tanjore paintings, Tanjore is also known for its traditional toy called "Tanjavur Thalaiyatti Bommai" in Tamil, which means "Tanjore Head-Shaking Doll". These dolls have heads that shake when moved and can be taken off. Their bodies are heavier at the bottom, so they nod when there's a breeze, which is delightful to watch.
Another type is the "Thanjavur Gundusatti Bommai" or Tanjore Roundpot Rocking Doll, representing kings and queens from Thanjavur's history. These dolls have heavy bottoms and gently rock back and forth when disturbed.
These traditional Indian toys are made of terracotta, paper, or clay and are handcrafted and painted in bright colors. This art originated in Thanjavur around the early 19th century during King Saraboji's reign and has been unique to the region since then.
