Puppet series

📝 Description
This artwork from the Puppet Series beautifully fuses the charm of traditional Indian puppetry with contemporary folk-inspired painting. A royal couple is depicted in intricate lines and rich earth tones, adorned in cultural attire. The male figure, with a stylized turban and jewelry, stands beside a graceful female figure, both surrounded by symbolic motifs of birds, leaves, and folk designs. The playful yet dignified posture reflects harmony and storytelling — much like the puppets used in regional theater.

The color palette is dominated by mustard yellow, deep red, and natural browns, giving the painting a warm, nostalgic glow. Every line and curve speaks of handcrafted tradition, yet the overall aesthetic is modern and stylized.
