Retired government school teacher and veteran puppeteer, K. Kesavasamy, added another accolade to his much-lauded career this year the Padma Shri Award for arts. Joining him in his moment of happiness were not just his human friends and well-wishers, but the 500-plus handmade puppets that he has stored at his residence in Karaikal.
“I initially learned puppetry as an aid for teaching in the 1970s, but I got so absorbed in the art that I decided to immerse myself in it,” Mr. Kesavasamy said in a telephonic interview.
“The Padma Shri is a great recognition for a folk art like puppetry, and will encourage younger artistes to keep it alive,” he said.
