Creation of the dolls The face of the doll is made up of wooden basket with papier-mache applied on it. Using appropriate sketches and colours, the face of the doll is created. Each face is supported by a wooden frame. The dolls can be as much as 10 to 12 feet in height and including the frame, the total weight can be as high as 40 kgs.[2][1] A person fits himself into the frame from the underside and performs the dance carrying this huge structure on his shoulder[2][1] Provision is made for the performer to see the outside world through an opening in the frame.

The dance performance can go on for as much as eight hours and hence the performers take turn in carrying the heavy dolls.[2] Though the main idea behind the performance is to create a funny atmosphere, they are also used as a medium to ward of evil spirits.[1]
