Indonesia does not claim anything. Wayang is Javanese word that means "shadow". Kulit is Javanese word which means hyde. Wayang kulit developed from the ceremony of Javanese ancestor worship before Hinduism came to Indonesia. When Hinduism came and the Javanese adopted Hindu religion, the wayang ceremony was mixed with the HIndu stories.

What are the similarities this Keralan Puppet and the Indonesian Wayang Kulit? Nothing! Not even the form of the puppet, not the song, not the musics. not the movement of the puppets.
