Kathaputli is used for narrating historical stories, old myths, legends, and social awareness programmes. A thousand-year-old tradition of the handmade puppet belongs to Rajasthan. Originally, puppet art is formed by the Bhatt community from Rajasthan, India. This art is carried from generation to generation. Right from the making of the wooden puppet to the puppet show is a mastery of Bhatt artists. One such artist is Gopal Madan Bhatt from Pune. They used to get a good source of income, but nowadays, it's challenging for them to survive due to the decline of this traditional art. Hence, he started making puppet animals. He also started other art forms like playing 'Dhol' and other musical instruments at events, weddings, and birthday parties. He is getting a good source of income from these types of celebrations.
