Theme ‘May the old art be eternal in the face of modernity’
The old folk art form ‘Chadar Badar’ (puppet play) is a very rare form of tribal Santal doll and a symbol of Santal culture. Puppetry has been associated with folk culture in various countries for ages and has played an important role in folk education. This history is about several thousand years. This dying art form was once prevalent among the Santals living in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Assam and Odisha. Today, these Chadar Badar puppets and its artists can be found scattered in Birbhum, Burdwan, Bankura and North Dinajpur districts of West Bengal and Dumka in Jharkhand. The main reason why this art form has gradually fading is that few members of the community are seldom taking the basic education of doll making and incorporating it into their lifestyle. As a result, an ancient trend is gradually becoming stagnant. #durgapuja2024 #durgapuja #kolkatapuja
