rajasthani puppets

Jaipur, India: I had the pleasure of watching a puppet show at my hotel, the Raj Palace, during my evening there. l loved their costumes - try looking at it large.

 

These puppets are string marionettes and were controlled by the head puppeteer. He used a device made of bamboo reed in order to make the shrill voices of the puppets. Another man played a form of bongo drum to go along with the story being told.
