The Puppet Show

One night we visited a replica of an authentic Rajistani village. Crafts, performances and food all designed to give you a sense of village life in this region.

This girl greeted us at the entrance and marked our foreheads with crimson and rice grains:




These two young girls danced and twirled while their mother and father played traditional instruments:



The best part however was the puppet show! This man played the tabla (Indian drums) and sang the narration:



Here is the "stage":




We laughed so hard at this crazy, energetic show that included a suggestive dancing girl, Michael Jackson (whose head comes off and flys off into space several times), a scary snake, and a horse and man doing things that are not suitable for me to describe in this family-oriented blog!

It was truly hilarious even though I couldn't understand a word of it!!

Then we sat down to a traditional meal





I'd go back just to see the puppets again...
