Felt making, or Namda, as it is locally called, is a craft exercised in some area of Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Namda cluster in the Tonk district, which was once ruled by the 'Pathans' collectively employs about 500 Pinjarra artisans, an Indian Muslim community. Apart from contemporary workshops using a carding machine to fluff the wool, the entire felt making process is actually quite primitive.
Felt making is said to have migrated to India. It is believed that a person named Nubi developed felt fabric to protect Emperor Akbar's horse from cold in the 11th century. Akbar being impressed by the craftsmanship gave the craft the title of Namda.
Namda toys come into existence about 10 years ago, thus their shapes have taken a modern twist. Our little-felt friends come in vibrant animal figures such as elephant, goat, and reindeer. These toys are the perfect precedent of the art of acceptance that Tonk portrays, as during the British rule it set an example of Hindu- Muslim unity in India.
