Jaipur

Watch Rajasthani Kathputli (string puppet) performances — a 1,000-year-old craft tradition depicting folk tales of Rajput warriors, demons, and royalty. Elaborate painted wooden puppets dressed in mirror-work costumes dance, fight, and emote with extraordinary skill through invisible strings.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

The Kathputli colony in Delhi (Rajasthani puppet-maker community) and craft fairs in Jaipur (Crafts Mela at Jawahar Kala Kendra) are the best venues for authentic performances.
