Tholu Bommalata, meaning ‘the dance of the leather dolls’ in Telugu, is shadow puppetry
practised by itinerant artists from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Family troupes, like
those of National Award-winning artist Sindhe Chithambara Rao, travel from village
to village performing tales from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Vishwaroopa
Hanuman depicts the deity in his cosmic form, vast as the universe.
