These colourful handmade and hand painted string puppets are one of the finest examples of the most ancient and popular form of folk entertainment. Indian traditional home décor string puppets or kathputli of Rajasthan's are one of the most vibrant aspects of Indian culture. These folk puppets of Rajasthan are known as kathputli (Kath meaning wood and Putli meaning doll) those are made in Jaipur and Jodhpur. The art of puppeteering has a long tradition in Rajasthan, but the puppets themselves are fairly simple creations. Mostly, they consist of painted wooden heads draped with dresses made from old fabrics and sequined for charm. The puppets are generally in 1.5 to 2 feets in height.
