Nice to get a close-up view on these designs. My friend had bought a piece from an Emporium in Banglore, for her golu display last year when she had visited India.

I am also like to know how to engrave / to carve such designs in kopparai. Though I know to some extent, I wish to know the ideas of others also for making the art perfect and more attractive. Is there any process for easy engraving, before we draw any design/picture/name over the kopparai?

It is very much needed in the weddings of Madhwa Brahmins' marriages. During the Janavaasam day evening, when the bride is sitting in the appropriate place in the stage, her would-be mother-in-law would present her many gifts, cosmetics ,dolls and ALSO some ten or fifteen half-coparas and 2 full coparas (dry coconut full pulp) all duly decorated by engraving on it several natural scenes, birds, gods pictures, bride and bridegroom arts and also the names of the couple going to wed. It is not only famous in Karnataka, it is being used in the marriages in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra as well. Now a days this (design engraved copra)is being used by some other sects of people like, Iyers, Iyengars, Naidus, Saiva Chettiars also in Tamil Nadu. These coconut with design looks very nice and the same can be preserved for months together in the show-case. There are some handful of artists in Tamil Nadu and many in Karnataka. I am also interested in doing such beautiful engravings in dry copras and seldom I do this. If anybody wants to know the address of some of the artists, I can provide with pleasure because I know them personally. By the By, I also want to know some addresses, phone numbers of such copra artists in Karnataka. Can anybody help me?
