If you are an artist you must know about the unique art form thank you so much dear Rajeev Pulaver

An excellent display of art conveying mythology, epics and stories from all around the world. Extremely vibrant and engaging. The details in the puppets are so intricate and beautiful. The guide was very patient and willing to take us through every detail of the art form. It was a pleasure to be able to witness this art form!!

It was a wonderful experience. Our traditions are beautifully curated here. World pioneers in shadow puppetry. Respected Padmasri.Ramachandra Pulavar and dear Rajiv Pulavar are the masters behind this.Great effort.

Amazing place to watch and learn Shadow puppetry. But duration of show were less than half an hour.

I have booked the Shadow Puppetry for an awareness programme in Food Safety for the Dept of Kerala. They did a very amazing job par excellence than what we could think ever think of. They amazed us with their gifted talents. If Covid had not hit they would have got a few more stages in our dept.

Had a wonderful experience visiting this place. Rajeev sir had given us a very detailed explanation of the puppetry art forms and had demonstrated it right infront of us which made our day. They helped us to know more about the art form. Please try to visit you will have a wonderful experience.

We visited the place as a part of our field trip.Within the two hours we spent there, we were able to see different types of tholpava, tholpavakoothu show, and to understand the history of tholpavakoothu. We also got an opportunity to meet two German artists and their show, who came to learn about our tholpavakoothu. It was a good experience for us to remember for ever.
