Tholpavakoothu - Puppet play

'Tholpavakoothu' - shadow puppet play with leather puppets was sponsored by Indian Council of Cultural Research, Trivandrum at the Theerthapada mandapam, East Fort on Saturday, 19th June 2010. Pulavar Ramachandran and his team performed 'Ramayana'. This unique form of art,  with its skilfully manipulated  animated leather figures was well appreciated by the select audience. The commentary was in a mixture of Malayalam, Sanskrit and Tamil. Perhaps, they could have tried out some innovations in the vocal and musical support, like including female voice.
