Wayang Golek is a traditional Indonesian puppet theater that originated in West Java. It features three-dimensional wooden puppets, often intricately carved and painted, which are manipulated by a puppeteer called a dalang. The performances typically depict stories from Ramayana, Mahabharata, or local folklore, combining music, dialogue, and visual artistry. The puppets are usually made from wood and are designed to represent various characters, including heroes, villains, and mythical beings. Wayang Golek performances are often held during cultural festivals and ceremonies, serving as both entertainment and a means of preserving Indonesian cultural heritage.
