Design the Royal Crown

On plain white paper, use a pencil to draw three triangles of equal size and one thick horizontal strip. These pieces will come together to form Ravana’s majestic crown.

Paint & Cut the Crown

Use your Rangeela Tempera Colours to paint vibrant designs on the triangles and the strip. Once the paint is dry, carefully use your scissors to cut out each piece.

Create the Mighty Moustache

Using black paint, draw a large, curved moustache and two bushy eyebrows on a piece of paper. To give Ravana a truly bold look, cut these out precisely with your scissors.

Prepare the Puppet Base

Take a standard paper bag and press it flat.The rectangular bottom flap of the bag will serve as the face of your Ravana puppet where all the features will be attached.

Assemble the Fierce Face

Cut and stick the facial cutouts and the assembled crown onto the paper bag with Fevicol MR. Your Ravana puppet is now ready for a festive puppet show!
