The shadow puppets are mostly made of leather and held with 2 or 3 supporting sticks of wood. Most of these puppets have many intricate holes which are slowly hand-carved one by one to create a more beautiful image.
These stories can be told by one single puppeter or for the big productions there can be more than 10 puppeters.
