Kathputli is a string puppet theatre, native to Rajasthan, India and is the most popular form of Indian puppetry. Being a string marionette, it is controlled by a single string that passes from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. Kathputli is a join of two Rajasthani language words "Kath" meaning "wood" and "Putli" meaning a "doll" which has no life . Kathputli means a puppet which is made entirely from wood. However it is made out of wood, cotton cloth and metal wire.
