@dsourceindia #everyone India has a rich and ancient tradition of puppetry, one of the oldest and most expressive folk theatre arts. In Karnataka, the traditional string puppets known as Gombe Atta are beautifully styled and modelled after characters from Yakshagana, the region’s iconic theatrical form. Puppetry has long served as a powerful medium of storytelling, communication, and social reflection. One of the pioneers of modern puppetry in India, Y. K. Padhye, introduced ventriloquism and puppet theatre to Indian audiences in 1920, marking a new era in performance arts. More than just entertainment, puppets represent a creative and imaginative way of understanding the world, a timeless invention that continues to evolve with society.
