I so agree with you that we must infuse traditional arts and culture with a bit of contemporary flavor to continue to draw the interest of new generations and present things that are fresh and entertaining. I learned much good information from this post, and I absolutely loved the snakes... as long as they're not real. Real snakes I do not like one bit! :-))Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27037906.post-24904946105214480272015-02-25T08:13:06.130+05:302015-02-25T08:13:06.130+05:30such fun!

Keep sharing more!<br />It's a pity that many are not aware of such treasures in our state and country.<br />We go to other countries, know about their famous festivals etc, but are ignorant about our own cultural heritage...<br />Everyone's interest & participation is needed to encourage the talented artists and craftsmen & help sustain such arts and crafts for the future.<br /><br />The video with the snake-puppet dances is so REAL! Had the puppet snake-charmer not been sharing the same stage at the same time, one could have got mistaken and wondered how they managed with REAL snakes & made them DANCE so crazily :) :D <br />I'll show the videos to my daughter. Am sure she'll love them too!

I watched Puppet show in Udaipur and I loved it. unfortunately, we are so engrossed with movies and technology we neglect our traditional modes of entertainment ...an art like puppetry needs more focus and perhaps a better presentation to increase its appeal to common people.
