If you are an art lover person then you should definitely visit this place to get the cultural vibes. The ticket is very minimal and I don’t remember the exact fare but has to be either 50 or 60₹.I have also attended the puppet show over here which was good, also you can see various artwork galleries inside the place.

Nice place and puppet show is good perform the bhartiya lok kala mandal. Show entry fee: 60 ₹ per person.

Great place... attached with cultural values..good and adventurous performances by artist...2 types of tickets are available..one for museum and puppet showAnother one for different puppet show(all times) and folk dance ( happens at fixed timing )

Amazing and glorious fort made by maharana khumba

Feel the culture of royal Rajasthan with beautiful painting and sculpture all around and dont miss the puppet show, its gonna be worth your visit to Udaipur

A puppet show is performed here, attracting tourists from far and wide to see and enjoyed by puppetry.The puppet show is very popular here, as well as many cultural events.

The performance is amazing and you get to soak in Rajasthani culture.

Ticket is 60 rs per person. But nice place to visit. puppet show is good. Nearly this in 50 year old building. Basically it is a tribal museum.

There is puppet theater (Kathputli) too where puppet shows are held at regular intervals.

Extraordinary puppet dance! Just too good. This is one place you should not miss in udaipur. Just go and watch that 15 minute puppet dance, its totally worth it! There is a tribal shop below it, selling amazingly beautiful handicrafts items for very reasonable prices.

If you want to experience the folk culture of udaipur do not miss this!there was such a cute puppet show with live music and then some amazing folk dance! All of it was packed in an hour!

Dont know about other places where same things are shown ( the folk performances and puppet show) but this was good. Loved it. Each and everything of it and specially the matki balancing performance. I personally have tried it with just two small matkis and i know its not easy. Big respect to the person who performed it and to other performances too.

Awesome experience of Puppet show and Rajasthani Cultural Dance performance.Just loved it.. 😊👍

A great way to preserve and showcast the Rajasthani culture.Loved the show.

Good for watching popet show all day...Folk dance and other things are only one show in evening.. Which is.. Good too see ..

Must visit if you like to have an experience of traditional kala..

Explored different culture and tribes. Collection of various things related to tribes are very good maintained.Also you can enjoy puppet show which was based on the traditional Rajasthani songs.

Under ratedMust see puppet show

Good location📍, place in good area and nice infrastructure

Its very nice place to explore culture of rajastan

Not well maintained. You can feel Govt building.Tribal art at ground floor had good variety of handicrafts and clothes

One of the best cultural museum in Rajasthan. Every painting, sculpture can give you the feeling of old Indian culture at a very low entrance cost. A puppet show is also there, and dont miss it. It showa the classic Rajasthani culture & its the best show I ever seen. The place is also very peaceful place. Recommended from me as must visit place is Udaipur.

Museum so - soPuppet show awesome.I am thankful to those artists who are keeping it alive. Dont miss the show. A must watch.

The institution has a folt art museum that exhibits collection of folk articles from Rajasthan like rural-dresses, ornaments, puppets, masks, dolls, folk musical instruments, folk deities and paintings. There is a puppet theater, (Kathputli) where puppet shows are held at regular intervals 20 -30 mins interval.

If u like to know about culture & tradition of Rajasthan then its a gud place for u. Puppet show is good there.

Nice place to visit. Dancing dolls show is a must. Very skilled and talented people work here.

If you are here or planning to go here their, after watching the Lok Kala give artist a small amount of money as token of love because they have given their whole life to this lok kala. They perform awesome. Best place to visit.

One of the best places to experience the traditional art and culture of Rajasthan. The museum is one of its kind showcasing puppet show, indian tradition and folk dances. The ticket price compared to the infotainment that you receive is mind blowing.During my visit, i was lucky enough to see the 10 minutes puppet show and also the 1 hour folk dance and puppet show as well. The ticket price is Rs. 90 for the combo ticket which includes visit to the museum, 10 minutes puppet show and 1 hour folk dance and puppet show combined.

Amazing folk dance and kathputli show. Very few of such kind in India

You can pay a visit if you like the puppet show or wanted to cherish your childhood memories. They have a special show from 12-1 noon and 6-7 in eveng where they perform the local folk dance and puppet show.

Traditional art popped show

Awesome placeReasonable price50 ₹ for Museum and puppet showFolk dance also done 6-7 pm at 120₹

We were not expecting much from this show. However once it started we realized this is pretty good.All the performances seem to be pretty good (except probably one of them in middle which was not great).The last show gets special mention and lots of people gave standing ovation there. Its also worth noting that price is pretty low here compared to other such shows in area.

Very informative place for tribes culture..kids loved puppet show..must visit

You will get a vibe of 80s in this place .. but at 60 rupees per person (excluding the additional charge) it is something to visit once ... It has very detailed masks and images of the tribal culture .. and the cherry on the cake is the Kathputli show at the end! One time visit when you get bored of seeing the palaces and natural locations in Udaipur !

Good palce. For puppet show lover and history of puppets

Rare place depicting the ancient culture of Rajasthan. Puppet show is a must attend!

Awesome place for the family, old culture place. Taking 1Hour for show whole museum

Good puppet show and muesem also minimum charges and more than better other rest of the shows. Small draw back is when we start watching that show we hope shows duartion will exceed.

I think more people should visit there and explore cultural things. They should modernized this place to attract more people. I liked this place, kathputali(puppet) dance was nice. Overall they need improvement.

U r here ...Great decision 🙂Enjoy Rajasthan folk puppet show and ....🤩Amazing show ...Amazing persons with skill of tabla jaltarang flute ....

I really liked this place for it has kept the folk art of puppetry alive. Do catch up a show here and you will fall in love with puppet dance all over again. The museum is very small but nice one.

Udaipurs culture dance and puppet show. People who love to see folk dance and puppet show should surely watch. The artist have performed across various cities.

It is good to visit in Udaipur if you like to see kathputli dance and drama

It was a great experience to go and enjoy. The dance and puppet show was a good and amazing experience. The uniqueness or the story narrated and the music will glue you at your seat.Most of the stories will be in Hindi

Amazing experience. Loved the puppet show

It was so mesmerizing. Loved the place. Very educational and we have to ensure that this art is carried forward to the next generation. The puppet show was so good and the artist put all his heart to perform the puppet show.

Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal is deliberately less popularized place but it barbers rich traditional materials and images of tribal peoples of Rajsthan. The collection of kathputali (puppets) is remarkable. The museum also showcase the puppets collected from worldwide. The puppet show there is of world-class and the artists deserve a better facilities for the show. There expertise is commendable.

Enjoyed puppet show here, else other things are quite boring.

Best kathputli show

Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal Museum was founded by Padma Shri Devi Lal Samar in 1952 with the intention to restore and educate visitors about the regional folk culture of Rajasthan. The items exhibited here include rural attires, ritual pots, dolls, wall sculptures, paintings and puppets.

The place is good if one wants to know about rajasthan tribes and the culture of Rajasthan as to how was Rajasthan some 50 years backWhat were the dresses they used to wearThe best part is the puppet show one must watch if he/she goes thereThe puppets there are also very goodPeople spent around 30 min to 1 hour

A VERY GOOD INSTITUTE FOR PRESERVATION OF FOLK ARTS AND CULTURE WITH PRESENTATION OF DIFFERENT ARTS AND INFOTAINMENT .

Its showing our art and culture. So beautiful 😄 I spend 2 hours in this place. .its memorable for me...

Very good performance by the local artists. Puppet show and the themes selected were great. Rounded off with great dance performances. Icing on cake was the solo performance where balancing of pots on head with simultaneous dancing. This artist was super.

This place is filled with rich Indian culture. The museum portrays all ancient folk culture of India and you get to watch puppet show and folk dance along with this too. You can get a combo ticket for all three above or you can get tickets separately for museum and folk dance & puppet show. The folk dance is thrill to watch and one shouldnt miss the opportunity of viewing it.

Puppet show followed by Rajasthani tradional dance. Hardly any people to watch the show which might be one of the reason for the missing smile on the Tera Tali ladies and the musicians. Loved the guy playing Jaltarang. I have seen better performances (Dharohar) but for the price its not bad and in the current situation and the lack of appreciation from people towards art I always respect anyone who is keeping the tradition alive. If they read the review and if I happen to be in Udaipur again I will go again and it there are smiles on all faces Ill give 5 stars.

Beautiful... Must visit place.. And puppet show is awesome 😍

It is a auditorium of udaipur where many of programs are held and there is one one vada pav vala is there which taste is ultimate

Bhartiya lok kala mandal is femous for Katputali dance and Katputali musium . For Indian 50 rup entry fee for non India 100 ₹ . timing is 9 to 6 . Katputali show is awesome also its around 20min show but you really enjoying . also they showcase Rajasthani lok devi devta photos. There one restaurant . Also one shop to buying gift items .

I love this place. What a awesome beauty of Rajasthan cultural

Fantastic, mind-blowing, superb and speechless

Best place where you can see what local culture, art, and history of a place depicts. The tribal museum adjacent is full of details about the tribes of India, wishing to spend more time since couldnt complete due to time constraints. The circus show done by puppet artists was excellent, especially the bar. What an amazing art. These artists should be really appreciated for they are the best.

Beyond the expectations. This is the place I am looking for to get through the historical feelings in Rajasthan. This is a really good place for family and friends. You will find regional folks and puppet shows. All are very good. Tickets are also reasonable.

A place to know about folk dances and knowledge updation regarding Rajasthan culture

The one hour puppet and folk dance show is must watch here. Go for it without second thought and you wont regret it. The puppet show is very entertaining and unique. The folk dancer are entertaining and praise worthy. 👍

Great point for a quick look into the tribal culture of India, including history of puppets from the world.The 15-20 minute puppet show was the best part of the visit. Must go if you are interested in tribal culture.

Wonderful place to visit ..ticket price is only 100 for the cultural show & puppet show..daily two shows..12-1 & evening 6-7..

Nice place. You can get an idea of folk traditions of Rajasthan. Do not forget to watch the Puppet Show. Its a amazing experience.

This place is so underrated more people should go and have look at the show and show pieces which they have in display

Worth visiting. Cultural heritage of Rajasthan.

Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal is a cultural institution based in Udaipur engaged in studying folk art, culture, songs and festivals of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and to popularise and propagate folk arts, folk dances and folk literature.It was set up in 1952 by Mihir Chaudhary. The institution has a museum that exhibits collection of folk articles from Rajasthan like rural-dresses, ornaments, puppets, masks, dolls, folk musical instruments, folk deities and paintings.There is a puppet theater (Kathputli), where puppet shows are held at regular intervals....

The cultural performances including dance are must watch. Do visit it.

Good place with traditional set up of theater. The artists performed amazingly well. The puppet show was worth watching. The traditional folklore by artists was worth watching. Worth the penny spent.

Nice place to spend evening in witnessing some cultural stuffs. You see the puppet show as as well as folk shows. Definitely check the amphitheater for live performances. Also, check out the handicrafts and souvenier.

It is worth to visit place if u want to see local folk dance and puppet show of rajasthan

This review is based on the 1 hr show at 6.0pm in their small auditorium. The show is for 1hr, 30 minutes for puppet shows and 30mins for folk dance. It is really a treat for the eyes to watch this show. Puppet show was interesting mainly because you dont get to see that too often. The way each theme or msg is enacted through puppets is amazing and is very colourful. Folk dance part again was very colourful and impressive with very high coordination and skills. There was an amazing dance performance where the dancer had a pyramid of pots placed on a steel tumbler and dancing with grace andfast movements. Really exceptional!

Nice place and the shows are reasonably well showcased..Will definitely an awe experience for people not from Rajasthan.. Performances range from puppet show to various dance forms from Rajasthan (Gorband, Bhavai, etc.)

Ive never been into such an interesting as well as funny place like this!The last part is a small 15 minutes of play with handmade dolls which represents Indian culture of dolls as a part of play and its funny on its own.Everyone there applauded for the dolls that dis the whole drama.Ive uploaded 60 photos for you guys to see. I hope you like it. Ive captured every possible place where it was permitted to take photos.The ticket is very low that even a financially weak guy could afford it.In the last secton videography isnt allowed but people still do it.

Awesome place to Visit.. Definitely...one will love the place and information about traditional things of Rajasthan and various tradition.I highly Recommend

Must visit place. Puppet show is very good.

Nice place. Nd yesterday cultural program was too good

Nice garden

Amazing place with various history factsLoved the puppet show

Perfectly depicts the cultures of different parts of Rajasthan and the puppet collection in the museum is wonderful which has different types of puppets gifted all around the world and the puppet show here is a unique part which can hardly be seen anywhere in Udaipur. It has a fab collection sculptures and masks and necklaces worn by civilians which depicts their lifestyle .

Good attempt to keep the art live, lot of improvement can be done on adminstration & staff, next to it there is shop where good collection of articles for sale

Great work done by Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal to Improve Art & Culture of India 🇮🇳

This place consists different folks and museums. There is also a puppet show for people entertainment. It is mainly a historic palace of ancient arts and culture.

Wonderful place to view our cultural work, must visit

What a dirty place but what a great place it could have been. A connecting space for all different tribes and their art. But everything was under tonnes of dust and dirt. No care taken. Just collect money from people. Beautiful art work hidden in dirt. May be puppet show is beautiful but was no place for every visitor. Worth a visit, but could have been far better.

Great performance by the artist who are keeping the folk dance and puppet show alive.....must visit location in Udaipur......

If you are in udaipur. Its a must see place. Every evening 6pm to 7pm, there is puppet and folk dance show. Anyone interested in classic dance form must see the event.

Very strange but interesting museum full of history. We were also treated to a puppet show.

Situated in Udaipur centre to showcase the original Rajasthani art in the form of dance and puppet show. One hour show at this government facility is like that you would definitely request for Once more. Half an hour show of puppet dance on various themes and another half on folk dance can be watched at highly discounted government price. The hall is fully air conditioned so very comfortable to watch. Must must visit place if you are in udaipur.

In this ,there is puppet models of many indian folk dances, festival celebrations, mukhotas(faces) , musical instruments etc. There is a puppet dance show duration 10 minutes.There is a ticket of 40 rupees of adults and free for handicap. There is a 1 hour night show also play which is also play in day .

U should visit this place once! Its good

Puppet show is awesome 😎Must visit place.

Nice place to visit with family. Puppet show is worth watching.😊

Well for the price you are paying its a great , must visit if you have small kids
