Ramayana is a prominent epic from the Hindu culture and is narrated through many art forms. Perhaps the most charming rendition of it is in Puppet Theatre. Shown above is the battle sequence between Prince Rama and the mighty Demon King Ravana. As in life, so in art - all battles must be fought with strings attached :)

Very nice colours! and clever interpretation, I like all those thin wires!
this is such a cool piece - all those heads are truly marvelous.

Interesting illustration. I love the repetition of the head and the strings attached to them.:)
