Wayang golek are wooden doll puppets that are operated from below by rods connected to the hands and a central control rod that runs through the body to the head. The simple construction of the puppets belies their versatility, expressiveness and aptitude for imitating human dance.
In the 18th century the tradition moved into the mountains of West Java where it eventually was used to tell stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabarata in a tradition now called wayang golek purwa, which can be found in Bandung, Bogor and Jakarta. Wayang golek purwa has become the most popular form of wayang golek today and the most famous puppeteer family is the Sunarya family which has produced several generations of stellar performers.

Rajasthani (from the western Indian state of Rajasthan) string puppetry is one of the most vibrant aspects of Indian culture. These handmade wooden puppets are much more than just plaything or decorative dolls. They are a part of the traditional performance of puppetry – narrating an event from history, myths, folklore or legend, complete with music and speech.
The tradition of handmade string puppets of Rajasthan is more than a thousand years old. It is known as ‘Kaathputli’ (‘kaath’ means wood, and ‘putli’ is puppet, i.e. wooden puppet).
This little boy is called "Dalang Cilik" or little puppet master.
He was playing a Javanese doll called "Wayang".
This activity is usually played by adult.

Honestly, I never watch this kind of show.
That's why I am really grateful for this great chance.

This is actually an Awa Ningyo Joruri (阿波人形浄瑠璃) play, a more rural form of Bunraku. Three people dressed in black operate each puppet: one, the right hand and head; two, the feet; and three, the left hand.
