Puppet Series –Eternal Companions

📝 Description

This vibrant artwork, part of the Puppet Series, beautifully captures a traditional Rajasthani puppet couple, evoking themes of timeless love, tradition, and storytelling. The male and female puppets are dressed in festive folk attire, with intricate line work and a warm red-yellow palette symbolizing energy, life, and continuity.

The puppets are drawn with visible strings, reinforcing the essence of control and direction — symbolic of how culture, fate, or society influence human lives.
