Puppetry throughout the ages has held an important place in traditional entertainment. Like traditional theater, themes for puppet theater are mostly based on epics and legends. Puppets from different parts of the country have their own identity. Regional styles of painting and sculpture are reflected in them. Like the string puppets from Rajasthan are known as Kathputli, string puppets of Orissa are known as Kundhei, puppets from Tamil Nadu known as Bommalattam.
The puppeteers belong to Kathputli Colony, Shadipur, West Delhi. Kathputli Colony is home to a number of immensely talented traditional artists such as acrobats, sword swallowers, flame throwers, magicians, behrupiyas and puppeteers etc. The artists perform on various traditional as well as contemporary themes to educate and entertain their audience
A fun and exciting workshop on how to make puppets from waste material such as plastic bottles. In 3 hours your children will not only learn about Rod Puppets, but also develop communication, social and creative skills.
In this world of digital art and 3D printing, Nazariya is a movement to bring us closer to the beautiful world of Indian Folk Art. It is an effort in not just reviving these artforms, but also making them relevant for the contemporary world.. Nazariya is trying to bring out the subtle message behind these artforms; the message of unity, brotherhood and community. This is Nazariya's way of taking you on an incredible journey into India's past, helping us create a new future.
We believe that artisans need to be respected and promoted, for the art forms they have given their life too. The story of the artisans must be told to the urban youth, to engage them into various art forms, traditions and cultures which are on their way to extinction. In collaboration with
