These puppets, called Wayang Kulit, are from the Indonesian island of Java. These types of puppet are carefully cut out of buffalo skin and then decorated with paint. Tiny holes are punched all over the puppet to create the outlines and textures of the character ’s clothes . The puppets are used as part of a performance that happens at night and can last for many hours. Hundreds of puppets are controlled by the Dalang (puppeteer) who moves them in front of a lamp to create shadows on a screen. These puppets are used to tell the story of the Ramayana. Ramayana is an epic tale from India, which is more than 2000 years old. This story is well known over the world. It is the story of Prince Rama as he tries to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. Rama is helped along the way by the monkey warrior Hanuman and, after a long battle, Rama defeats Ravana. He returns home, guided by the lamps of villagers across the country. This part of the story is remembered at Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The story is accompanied by music, which helps to create an atmosphere and to emphasize dramatic parts of the story.
