The glove puppet theatre form is of great importance because of its ability to present Kathakali, our classical dance-drama, through puppetry.These performances before children made them quite familiar with the stories of two major Hindu scriptures, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The word Pava means “puppet” and Kathakali means “story play”. By incorporating some Kathakali techniques and modelling puppets based on their characters, the Pavakathakali art-form emerged. Pavakathakali, glove puppet play, came into vogue and popularity in Kerala two centuries ago through the influence of the famous classical dance theatre, Kathakali.
