These dolls, widely found in Bangladesh and India, are cherished as both children's toys and decorative showpieces.
With their minimalistic design and rustic charm, Tepa Putul reflects the deep-rooted artistic heritage of rural artisans. Each doll carries cultural significance, often symbolizing folk tales, daily life, or spiritual themes. The craft preserves the connection between human touch and nature, making it a treasured piece of Bengal’s artistic legacy.
