Being a string marionette, it is controlled by a single string that passes it from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers. Kathputli is a join of two Rajasthani language words Kath meaning wood and Putli meaning a doll. Kathputli means a puppet that is made entirely from wood. However, it is made out of wood, cotton cloth, and string. Some scholars believe Kathputli's art tradition is more than thousands of years old.[2] One finds its reference in Rajasthani folk tales, ballads, and sometimes even in folk songs. Similar puppets which are rod-puppets are also found in West Bengal. But it is truly Rajasthan's amazing kathputli that made India one of the first countries to invent its traditional puppetry.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lowell Designer Craft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369979801882,"sku":"IAP06294","price":428.93,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/5524\/5338\/files\/dsc04810.jpg?v=1781777183","url":"https:\/\/lowellcraft.com\/products\/home-decor-wall-hanging-handmade-puppet-kathputli","provider":"Lowell Designer Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
