 బాల ల   పాటలు 🔻


♦ఓ బొజ్జ గణపయ్య.. నీ బంటు నేనయ్య.. 
అంటూ ఎంతో భక్తిగా చిన్నారులు సైతం
 నమస్కరిస్తూ పూజించే బంగారుకొండ 
మన  గణపయ్య .

♦ఓ బొజ్జ గణపయ్య నీ బంటు నేనయ్య
ఉండ్రాళ్ళ మీదికీ దండు పంపు
కమ్మని నెయ్యయ్య కడు ముద్ద పప్పయ్య
బొజ్జ నిండా తినుము పొరలుకొనుచు

♦పొందూర నొక విప్రుని
విందుకు రాబిలిచి
ఎందెందు ఇష్టమనగా
పప్పందే ఇష్టమని బాపడుబలికెన్

❤ఇందు భౌతికస్వభావము వరుస 
చొప్పునఁ జెప్పఁబడుటచే
బాలుఁ డా వరుస నంటు కొని,
 యొకటి రెండు మారులు వినినంతనే
తప్పకుండఁ బదము నప్పగింపఁగలడు❤

.♦.ఎండలు కాసే దెందుకురా?
మబ్బులు పట్టే టందుకురా.
♦మబ్బులు పట్టే దెందుకురా?
వానలు కురిసే టందుకురా.
♦వానలు కురిసే దెందుకురా?
చెరువులు నిండే టందుకురా.
♦చెరువులు నిండే దెందుకురా?
పంటలు పండే టందుకురా.
♦పంటలు పండే దెందుకురా?
ప్రజలు బ్రతికే టందుకురా.
♦ప్రజలు బ్రతికే దెందుకురా?
స్వామిని కొలిచే టందుకురా.
♦స్వామిని కొలిచే దెందుకురా?
ముక్తిని పొందే టందుకుర

Coconut Husk Ganesha idol

This is "Coconut Husk Ganesha idol" in my collection. Coconut craft artisans of kerala created this beautiful Coconut Husk Ganesha idol. Many coconut crafts are made by carving a single raw coconut. Extreme skills and patience is required in making up this product and only very few artisans are engaged in it. The product is 100% manually carved in a single coconut. Careful selection of full coconuts at farm level has to be done, in which the coconut husk should be larger than the coconut shell. Even if the full coconuts are carefully selected, out of 100 only 10 for example will be suitable for making the product. The craftsman skill is essential to achieve sharp features. Final touches are given with small knives and cutters. To bring out a single product, involvement of 3 different skilled artisans working from 1-7 days is required.
