Every piece is stitched, painted and finished by hand, so small differences between two pieces are the mark of real handwork, not a defect.

Are these really handmade?
Yes. Every doll is stitched, dressed and painted by hand by our karigars in Merta City, Rajasthan, so small variations between pieces are natural.
Where can I use them?
Pooja room, Diwali and Navratri decor, golu steps, wedding mandap, office desk, or as return gifts that carry a piece of Rajasthan.
How do I care for them?
Dust gently with a soft dry brush or cloth, keep away from water and damp, and store in the box between festivals.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET – 5 MALE PUPPET DOLLS: This set is five standing male musician figures in turbans and mirrored jackets, each with a different instrument. Made of cloth over a wooden frame. CHECK THE SIZE BEFORE YOU BUY: each doll stands about 11 cm tall and the full set lines up across roughly 28 cm. These are small, shelf-sized dolls, not life-size puppets – photos are shot close up, so go by the centimetres, not the picture. Every stitch is done by hand.
WHERE PEOPLE KEEP THEM: On a mandir shelf, a TV unit or a study table. They are the rajasthani decorative items families use to fill a shelf that looks bare – small enough to sit in front of books or beside a photo frame, and light enough to move while dusting. Nothing has to be fixed to the wall and nothing needs a stand; they stand on their own on any flat surface.
READY FOR GOLU AND THE FESTIVAL STEPS: Navratri golu and kolu displays need figures that read clearly from a distance, and a row of five sets up one step or one shelf edge. The same pieces come out again for Dussehra, Diwali, a mandir corner at Ganesh Chaturthi, and for a wedding or sangeet table where a dulha dulhan style doll display is set up. Nothing on them is tied to one festival, so they are stored and reused every year.
GIFTS AND SOUVENIRS: This is what people pick up as return gifts for guests, a housewarming present or a Diwali hamper. It travels well – light, small and not fragile in the way a clay or a stone piece is – which is why it is also bought in numbers as a Rajasthani souvenir to carry abroad. It arrives in a protective box, so no extra wrapping is needed to hand it over.
HANDMADE IN MERTA CITY, RAJASTHAN BY JH GALLERY ARTISANS: Each piece is dressed, stitched and painted by hand, one figure at a time in our own karigar workshop, so faces, turbans and fabric prints differ slightly from one to the next – that is the mark of real handwork, not a fault. Care: dust with a dry soft cloth or a soft brush. Keep it out of water and direct sun so the fabric colours hold.
