Leaders Lead!
Leather puppet of a boy leading Mahatma Gandhi

On Gandhi's birthday (October 2) we  present you an extra-ordinary puppet. It is made with leather and is painted. The puppeteer animates the puppet by using wooden sticks on a canvas. Do not forget to see the extra-ordinary photograph that inspired creation of this puppet.
