Hailing from a 4th generation family of puppeteers from Rajasthan, RAM LAL found that in its traditional form, puppetry with wooden marionettes is tough. Also, the stories were always the same. So, he started working with NGOs, using puppetry, and developed new themes on various issues. As he didn’t find inner growth in this too, he spent 8 years in the Himalayas and is now part of a non-registered non-funded commune called Sanchar in Dehradun.
