Rajasthani Puppets

Portrays a KathPutli Couple.
Kathputli(Puppet) native to Rajasthan, India. Kathputli is a join of two Rajasthani language words Kath meaning wood and Putli meaning a doll which has no life. Kathputli art tradition is more than thousands years old.The tribes of Rajasthan have been performing this art from the ancient times and it has become an eternal part of Rajasthani culture and tradition. No village fair, no religious festival and no social gathering in Rajasthan can be complete without the Kathputlis.
