Ghattotkacha is the son, Bimasena or Wrekodara, of the Pandawa family who ruled over the kingdom of Kuru. Inspired by the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Keni Suharjono handcrafts this shadow puppet from leather. Wings demonstrate Ghattotkacha's ability to fly. Because each puppet is decorated with batik, colors and motifs will vary, making this a unique and original work of art.
