Andhra Pradesh leather puppetry, or "Tholu Bommalata," is a traditional shadow puppetry art form over 2000 years old. Made from goat hide, puppets are intricately designed and painted, then used to project shadows on a lit screen. Performances typically depict scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, narrated with music and dialogue in Telugu. Despite facing challenges from modern entertainment and declining artisan numbers, efforts are underway to revive this cultural heritage through festivals, workshops, and exhibitions. Tholu Bommalata showcases the region's rich artistry and storytelling tradition, preserving its cultural significance for future generations.
