One of the highlights of the collection is the set of 5 Rajasthani musician puppets made from recycled material, known as Kathputli. This traditional form of string marionette puppetry, native to Rajasthan, is believed to have originated over 1,500 years ago by the Bhat community, a tribal group from the Nagaur district and surrounding regions in Rajasthan. Kathputli puppetry has deep cultural roots and is a key feature of village fairs, religious festivals, and social gatherings in the region.
These puppets are not just a visual delight but also serve as a medium for storytelling and entertainment. Historically, Kathputli performances narrated stories from Indian epics, folklore, and historical events, often glorifying the achievements and ancestry of patrons. The puppets themselves are typically made by hand using cloth and wood, with intricate craftsmanship reflecting Rajasthani culture.
The tradition of Kathputli is so revered that when a puppet becomes unusable, a ceremony marking its "death" is performed, where the puppet is sent down a holy river with prayers. The length of time it stays afloat is believed to reflect the gods' judgment, underscoring the spiritual and cultural significance of the puppetry in Rajasthan.
Lastly, a key holder fitted with handmade blue pottery tiles completes this collection. This exquisite piece is priced at ₹359, making it an affordable yet elegant addition to your home decor.
