Rajasthani Puppets - "Kathputli" : About |
|
|
|
|
|
Rajasthani Puppets are string marionettes that originate from the state of Rajasthan in India. The puppets are controlled by a single string that passes from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. Characteristic to this form are the shrill voices produced by the lead puppeteer which are spoken through a bamboo reed. The art of Rajasthani puppetry (also called Kathputli) originated a thousand years ago when the Bhat community began to practice this art. Patronised by many ruling families in the state,it soon grew into a major art form of the region. It has been one of the oldest form of entertainment. In the olden day time these puppets were not only a source of entertainment but also provided moral and social education.
