Yakshagana puppets- http://www.yakshaganapuppets.com/
The string puppet play of Karnataka (Yakshagana style of coastal area) is interesting, both on account of its technique and content – the presentation is highly stylized since it has to adhere strictly to the norms and standards of Yakshagana Bayalata, one of the most remarkable among the numerous arts of Karnataka. All the ritualistic rigor of the Yakshagana ‘Human Theatre’ has to be observed in its original form and adept manipulators of the puppets seem capable of making the yakshagana puppets leap to life.
