These days’ artisans at Nirmal produce the trademark birds, animals and fruits that are based on photographs instead of their own style, focusing on the study of shapes and forms of the subject. To enamel these toys synthetic paints are also used other than natural colors. The finely carved figures of Nirmal toys are used for decorating the homes of thousands across the country. These elegant toys are made out of locally available wood that is very light and flexible to cut into desired shape and size. The themes and style of making these toys have developed a positive approach to meet the demand of modern taste.
