Solution :
Puppetry is a form of theatre or performance that involves the manipulation of puppets-inanimate objects, often resembling some type of human or animal figure, that are animated or manipulated by a human called a puppeteer. In India puppet is commonly known as ' Kathputali'.I have seen a puppet show during my visit to Rajasthan.
Puppets were carved from a piece of wood and covered with costumes in Rajasthani Style. The show that i have watched was based on a theme that is 'Girl Education'.
The puppets made were controlled by the people off-screen with the help of strings. Dialogue delivery was also done by the same people who were controlling the puppets and making them move.
Through puppets and being uneducated themselves they conveyed beautiful and electrified manner that how important for a nation, for a society and for an individual to educate women. Puppets are included in the traditional art of India and dates back from 5th century BC.
However, modern style puppet came into being now which has completely transformed the existence of puppetry not in India but throughout the world. Puppets are of varied kinds. There are human-arm puppets, hand puppets, glove puppets, light curtain puppet, finger puppet and many more.
This art form is not getting much attention today, though many of the families especially in urban India making their ends meet through this art form only.
This is the heritage of our country and I really Think along with the other necessary developments, there is a pressing need to look into this too.
