Celebrating Festivals with Puppet Storytelling
I turn holidays into immersive stories. From spooky Halloween tales to festive Christmas cheer, I bring custom puppets and folktales to celebrate every season with your community.
A Christmas special in Kolkata. The children, all dressed in festive red, were the perfect audience for stories about sharing and celebrating together.
The audience at our "Mango Fiesta" in Kolkata, all dressed in yellow to celebrate the king of fruits. I shared stories and memories inspired by my own childhood love for mangoes.
A poster for our Halloween special, filled with silly and spooky stories. The witches, monsters, and pirates come out to play and sing some "boo" songs.
For Independence Day, I performed original stories about lesser-known heroes who fought for our freedom. It was a powerful way to connect the past with the present generation.

About Celebrating the Seasons: Themed Shows
I don't just put up a show; I build the experience around the event’s atmosphere. If it’s a Mango Fiesta, you’ll find me with mango-inspired stories and puppets; if it's Christmas, we’re talking festive folktales and characters, always adapted to the specific age group in the room.
Seasonal themes are not just background noise for my performances; they are the heart of the storytelling. When I plan a show for a holiday—whether it is a spooky Halloween special at a local school or a bright Christmas celebration at a museum—I adapt everything. The puppets change, the songs shift to match the mood, and the narratives are woven to fit the spirit of the day.
For a Mango Fiesta in Kolkata, I shared stories about summer childhoods and the joy of simple, sticky-fingered memories. For Christmas, I might bring out the Gingerbread Man, but with a twist that gets every child in the room participating. It’s about taking a familiar festival and adding a layer of performance that encourages kids to interact, roleplay, and engage deeply with the stories.
Whether you are planning a school festive day, a community event, or a celebration with a specific theme, I work with you to choose the right folktales and puppet characters. It’s not a one-size-fits-all package; it’s a living performance that changes based on who is in the audience and what we are celebrating together. I travel across India with my stage setup and puppet friends, ready to bring these seasonal stories to life in schools, libraries, bookstores, and event venues.
