Karnataka's Channapatna, also called as Toy Town, has been long known for it wooden lacquered handicrafts. But over recent years, the demand for these products has been steadily falling. This year, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation became even worse as the tourists remained away and the bulk orders got reduced. Channapatna's artists now hope that people will once again learn to appreciate these beautiful hand-crafted items and help them earn a living.
