{"title":"Kinnal","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn Kinhal, a small town in northern Karnataka, a community of artisans has been carving and painting wooden figures for temple chariots and festival processions for generations. The pieces are built with lightweight wood, layered, smoothed, then painted in flat, luminous colour with gold detailing. The result is bold, frontal, and unmistakably ceremonial. This is a GI-protected craft with a shrinking number of practicing families.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"large-yellow-kinnal-head-sculpture-woman","title":"Large Yellow Kinnal Head Sculpture - Woman","description":"\u003c!-- CRAFT ATTRIBUTION: Kinnal craft (also spelled Kinhal \/ Kinnala) — wood-carving and hand-painting tradition from Kinhal village, Koppal District, Karnataka; artisans called chitragars; active since the 15th–16th century under Vijayanagara and later Koppal Nawab patronage; GI-protected (GI number inconsistent across sources — do not cite a number without checking the official registry).
