Puppetry is one of the oldest forms of storytelling and entertainment. In India, each region has its own unique style and aesthetic of puppetry, often depicting local tales or mythological stories. The word Kathputli comes from the Sanskrit words Puttika or Puttalika, meaning 'child' or 'doll'. This deep connection is reflected in the reverence puppeteers show toward their creations—often storing them in their bedrooms and respectfully releasing worn-out puppets into a river with chants and mantras, rather than discarding them.
Though modern entertainment has overshadowed traditional puppetry, its charm remains alive in Indian culture. Today, handcrafted puppets are cherished not just as performance tools but also as beautiful decor pieces. Explore a wide variety of traditional handmade puppets and give your home a unique cultural touch.
