Puppet series

📝 Description
This artwork beautifully showcases two traditional Rajasthani puppets, brought to life in a fusion of folk art and contemporary aesthetics. Dressed in vibrant attire, the male and female puppets symbolize storytelling, culture, and connection. Their expressive faces and finely patterned clothes evoke the charm of India’s age-old performing art—Kathputli (puppetry).

Tiny puppet figures, animals, and folk motifs like elephants and birds surround the central characters, enhancing the narrative and joy of folk tradition. The warm yellow-orange palette creates a rich backdrop that radiates warmth and nostalgia.
