Mysuru: Trishika Kumari Wodeyar, wife of the 27th titular ruler of Wodeyar family Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wodeyar, is promoting the eponymous Channapattana toys through The Little Bunting, a business venture with the thrust on children’s boutique helmed by her.

The new safari set is inspired by Karnataka Forests and Safari. Trishika Kumari on Instagram explains about the new products.

“When setting up a brand for the promotion of Swadeshi Products for Children, one of my sincere aims was to promote Channapattana Toys, given our family heritage as patrons of the same and my own interest in helping to preserve this important heritage,” explains Trishika.

“I envisioned the making of new toys, namely the Safari Set, which is inspired by the animals we might be able to sight on safari in the Jungles of Karnataka. The entire set of toys is handcrafted in Channapattana and I have overseen the design of the same. The Safari set is an amalgamation of two of my passions, the toy making heritage of Karnataka in the town of Channapattana, as well as the amazing wildlife in Karnataka. I hope children and parents will enjoy these toys as well understand that this product supports one of India’s oldest handicrafts as well as highlights the need to better understand and appreciate our wildlife and forests,” she added.
