Over 150 attendees gathered at Puppet Showplace on August 10 for a very special presentation by one of the pre-eminent practitioners of tholpavakoothu — a ritual shadow puppetry style from Kerala, India! We were honored to present one of the most noted practitioners of tholpavakoothu in the world, Padmashri Ramachandra Pulavar, as part of his first-ever visit to the United States.
