in India we accepted anyone who we found saintly
thus sufism & other sampradays, faiths & beliefs flourished since centuries. no other country(land) on Earth was shelter to so many faiths.

while dancing handler used to turn puppet upside down, can't believe one can do? so kathputliwala with his tricks won. i tried to find a pic of that but see what i found, a book by #SudhaMurty ji? has anyone read it? the upside down king. English literature promoting Indian tales
just found this amazing depiction (our creative artists are making amazing Art pieces)
to share it connected with hand gestures and art of Sculpture.
in Dance several gestures are taught. similarly Sthapathy might be learning these? before making statues
