Rajasthan Puppet Show



India's state Rajasthan is famous for its cultural heritage and its folk tales. There is one particular race by name of 'Bhat' who are Puppet-men by profession and presents puppet-shows since hundreds of years. These puppets are made of wood and cloth. They are very skillful and have unique quality of telling stories of kings and queens of Rajasthan and its great heritage with help of puppets. There are also 'Kalbelia' dancers who are some what similar to Gypsies of Europe.
Of late, they are invited to perform by big hotels/resorts.
Now-a-days france and India are continously exchanging cultural knowledge and shows of such kind are being organised in both countries.
