Winter afternoon

Bagmati Village, Kathmandu Valley

Winter afternoon
Even the putali turn
Faces to the sun

Putali are a type of marionette used by the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley. These puppets are made predominantly on the outskirts of the ancient city of Bhaktapur in the village of Thimi, where woodcarving and pottery are still lively arts (Puppetry Arts)
