THE MAKING OF THE TUMBA
ART
•Earlier bottle gourd was used more as a utensil than as a food.
It is oval in shape as well as round shape like a pumpkin. Large
sized gourds are left on the tree to ripen or dry for about a year,
during which the gourd is not pierced, so later I break it and
peel off its tarnished top layer with the help of an iron knife.
and the soft material inside is taken out with the help of a bent
knife, Because it is very thin which can get destroyed during the
removal process. after drying, various types of traditional
shapes and patterns are drawn on the surface of the gourd with
the help of a hot iron knife. These people never change the
natural shape of the bottle gourd. But these people make
traditional painting on the gourd with a hot iron knife and turn
it into a wonderful artwork

After the design work is completed on the surface of the gourd,

the gourd is washed with mild soap and water and dried in the
sun, after drying, the wax is polished, giving the artwork a shine.
