| Title: | Various types of Traditional Puppets: Glove Puppets of India | | Author: | Contractor, Meher | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 21 Issue no. 3; June 1968, p. 17-19 | | Abstract: | Glove puppets are found in Orissa, Kerala, Madras State, and among the tribes of the Malabar coast. The making of the puppets, and their performance are elaborated upon. The puppet plays of Orissa were commonly known as Gopa Lila, as they relate anecdotes from the life of Krishna and Radha. The puppets of the Malabar coast were used more for magical tribal rituals. Kerala produces the best glove puppets of India, and the themes are always from the Mahabharata. The glove puppets from Thiruchendoor (Madras) centre around Subramanya, the brother of Ganesha. Source of Abstract: Provided by Publisher | | Tools: |
