Thanjavur Dancing doll.(Thalaiyatti Bommai)
On gently tapping the doll, it wobbles and makes a dance like movement with pleasant expression. If kept directly beneath a fan with good amount of wind circulation, the head keeps dancing.
It has 4 parts per doll- Head, Torso, Skirt and Legs pivoted on each other. Each part moves independently in a coherent manner. They are made out of sago, Plaster of Paris (POP), Paper Mache and wood pulp. Also called Thalaiyatti Bommai, the dancing dolls are traditional hand-made dolls that can be used to decorate the house or give away as gifts.
The heads of these dolls shake and are detachable. The lower part of the body is bigger than the heads and as they shake, it is a delight to watch them. These
dolls draw attraction due to their dance-like continuous movement with slow-damping oscillations. It has been given Geographical Indicator status by Government of India for its origin in culture rich Thanjavur( A State in Tamilnadu)
