The Rich History of Leather Puppetry Painting
The tradition of leather puppetry paintings has deep roots in Indian culture, especially in Andhra Pradesh. Historically, these artworks were essential in Tholu Bommalata, a shadow puppetry form. In performances, leather puppets told stories from epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. The delicate craftsmanship combined with mythological storytelling made these shows highly engaging.
With time, artisans in Anantapur transformed this craft into standalone art pieces. These include framed wall paintings, lamp shades, partitions, and decorative panels. By preserving heritage and adapting to modern tastes, this art form symbolizes cultural legacy and is an example of Indian mythological leather art thriving in contemporary settings.
