Description:

Discover one of the most popular sources of entertainment in Rajasthan as you sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of a customary puppet show. Delight in a lively string marionette performance before indulging in an appetizing dinner at a nearby restaurant.

For many years, puppet shows in India have been a valued part of the culture. As the dholak (hand-drum) announces the show, prepare to see the form known as Kathputli, wooden, string puppets that are dressed in colorful attire and maneuvered across the stage. Marvel at the skill and proficiency of the puppeteers as they amuse the audience with hooting and whistling.

Each show follows a different theme, serving not only as entertainment, but as a method of social education. Watch and pay close attention to pick up any issues this show chooses to address. Afterward, proceed to a local restaurant to reflect on the animated display, taking your pick of Indian, Chinese, or continental cuisine. Complete your evening feasting on your fixed-menu dinner.
