Puppetry is a string puppet theatre based in Rajasthan, India, and is one of the most popular forms of puppetry in India. Since the string is a puppet, it is controlled by a single string that goes from the top of the puppet to the top of the puppet. A special feature of puppets is the lack of legs. Their love for tradition dates back to about 1500 years ago when the tribal Rajasthani Bhatt community began using puppetry as a string puppet art and puppetry art became a time test. The puppetry tradition is based on folk tales and stories.
