पधारो सा..हमारे शहर गुलाबी 🌸 . . . . . Kathputli is a string puppet theatre, native to Rajasthan, India, and is the most popular form of Indian puppetry. Kathputli Word is join of two rajasthani language words Kath meaning wood and Putli meaning a doll which has no life .However it is made out of wood, cotton cloth and metal wire. One of our scholars finds its reference in Rajasthani folk tales, ballads and sometimes even in folk songs.Similar puppets which are rod-puppets, are also found in west Bengal. But it is truly rajasthan's amazing kathputli which made India one of the first countries to invent its traditional puppetry .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. It is believed that somewhere 1500 years ago, tribal Rajasthani Bhat community started the use of Kathputli as string marionette art and it is in their love for tradition that art of Kathputli survived the test of time. Tradition of Kathputli is based on folk tales and stories. Scholars believe that folk tales convey the lifestyle of ancient Rajasthani Kings and nobles were patrons of Art and Craft and they encouraged the craftsmen in activities ranging from wood and marble carving to weaving, pottery and painting. Today Kathputli art is one of the most popular performing arts of Rajasthan after Ghoomar. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . @unhide_the_hidden_india @incredibleindia @rajasthan_tourism @rajasthanblog @rajasthani_rang @indiaculturalhub @photorupt_rajasthan @unseenjaipur @jaipur__diaries @jaipur_blogger14 @jaipur_bytes @jaipurcityguide @igershindustan @igersrajasthan @igersjaipur @india_pic @indiaview @india @indian.photography @rajasthan_diaries @rajasthan.clicks @beautifuljaipur @jaipurconcierge @photographers.of.india @yourclicks_ @colours.of.india @colours_of_rajasthan @colours.of_india @colours_of_rajasthan @being_royal_rajputana @futra_baisa . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #lakshitawanderlust (at Jaipur, Rajasthan)
