Vijayawada has been an important handicrafts centre.
Kondapalli toys are delicately hand-sculpted figures if gods,
animals and birds, people and other village scenes. Another art form is
Kalamkari printing of textiles at Machilipnam. Hand-printed exquisite
designs, silk cotton saris upholstery, slingbags and dresses are prized
even today. MG Road, Governor Pet, Besant Road and Eluru Road are
the main shopping areas where the largest emporia are located. |
