{"Image ImageDescription": "New Delhi, INDIA:  FEATURE-WORLD PUPPETRY DAY-07/08: In this photograph taken 21 November 2005, an Indian puppeteer performs at a puppet-show in New Delhi.  Puppetry, a traditional but highly popular Indian craft is still used in villages and towns across the country to tell religious and mythological tales. Marionette, puppet and shadow theatre feature among the oldest artistic expressions of our culture. The theatrical and literary roots of the dramatic arts in all civilizations, can be linked to the puppet theatre, which has evolved over the centuries in diverse and extraordinary ways.
