== Making of the puppet ==
The puppets used in ''Togalu Gombeyaata'' are made of leather. Goat hide and deer skin are generally used for making these puppets since they have the characteristic of transparency and can easily absorb colours. The raw hide is treated with salt and caustic soda to remove hair and other impurities and then dried. Then colours are applied on the leather using locally available vegetable dyes. Red, blue, green and black colours are usually used.〔A description of Togalu Gombeyaata is provided by 〕 The hide is then cut into appropriate shapes which are joined together using strings and small sticks. For puppets representing human and animal figures, the head and limbs are joined in such a way that they can be moved easily.〔A detailed description of leather puppets is provided by 〕 The maximum size of the puppet is 4 x 3 feet and the minimum is 6 x 3 inches.〔 The puppets are usually characters from the Hindu epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. But with the advent of new era, personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi are also created using puppets.〔Changes in the art of ''Togalu Gombeyaata'' are mentioned by 〕
