Mysore/Mysuru: As part of Deepavali celebrations, Mysuru Puppet Theatre (MPT), J.C. Nagar, Mysuru, will be presenting a puppet show ‘Narakasura Vadhe’ directed by M.R. Ranganatha Rao at Sri Shankar Mutt in Kille Mohalla tomorrow (Nov. 4) from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm.
MPT Director Rangoli Srikantha’s great-great-grandfather Narasinga Rao was considered to be a master in this form of puppetry in which the puppet is manipulated with three strings and two iron rods. The puppeteer then becomes an extension of the puppet itself.
