Experience the Magic of Kathputli (Puppet Shows)

Kathputli, the traditional string puppetry of Rajasthan, is one of India's most ancient and captivating art forms. Our master puppeteers bring this centuries-old tradition to life, creating magical performances that enchant audiences of all ages.

With colorful handcrafted puppets, skilled manipulation, and engaging storytelling, our puppeteers create performances that combine entertainment with cultural education. Each puppet show tells stories from Rajasthani folklore, mythology, and daily life, bringing characters to life through the art of puppetry.

What is Kathputli?

Kathputli, which literally means "wooden doll" in Rajasthani, refers to the traditional string puppets of Rajasthan. These puppets are handcrafted from wood, cloth, and other materials, and are manipulated using strings attached to various parts of the puppet's body. The puppeteers, often from families with generations of experience, skillfully control the puppets to create lifelike movements and expressions.

Traditional Kathputli shows feature multiple puppets performing together, telling stories through dance, music, and dialogue. The puppeteers often provide voice narration and may be accompanied by traditional musicians, creating a complete theatrical experience.
