Role you're checking

Puppeteer

Creator

Puppeteers in India practise one or more of the country's four major forms — string puppetry (Kathputli, Rajasthan), shadow puppetry (Tholu Bommalata, Andhra Pradesh; Togalu Gombeyatta, Karnataka; Tholpavakoothu, Kerala), rod puppetry (Putul Naach, West Bengal; Yampuri, Bihar), and glove puppetry (Pavakoothu, Kerala; Gombeyatta, Karnataka) — as a performing art grounded in storytelling, cultural heritage, and increasingly in educational outreach. The career spans live performance at festivals and fairs, school and corporate workshop facilitation, stage productions for theatre companies and NGOs, craft-based puppet fabrication, and cross-medium collaboration with theatre directors, animators, and documentary filmmakers. Entry paths include guru-based apprenticeship (the dominant route for traditional forms), training at NSD's puppetry wing, Sangeet Natak Akademi-affiliated programmes, and the Sri Manavenkata Raghava Puppet Kala Kendram (Hyderabad) or Goethe Institut–partnered workshops. Income is non-linear and multi-stream: traditional practitioners depend on fair-circuit performance fees and government cultural grants; contemporary puppeteers build stability through school residency programmes, NGO commissions, and corporate storytelling workshops.
