Tholu Bommalata is a special kind of art form that originated in Andhra Pradesh, India. The art form is precisely a shadow puppet art form that is usually practised by the nomadic people of Andhra Pradesh. They travel from place to place and make their earnings through entertainment and other associated aspects like singing ballads, telling fortunes, show acrobatics and more.
The art form has been carried on for ages to communicate and spread Indian mythological stories to the normal audience. If you are wanting to know the art form in more detail, the Circle Community’s Tholu Bommalata workshop with Soojata Arora is something that you need to have clear access to. You won’t really be making puppets or doing puppet shows but you are surely having your hands specialised on one of the finest art forms picked from the same time and people.
