Solution

The correct option is A Ravanachhay
Ravanachhay literally means 'the shadow of Ravana', and is said to have been named after Ravana from the Ramayana. The puppets used can vary in height and are typically mounted on poles. Changing the distance between the puppets and the screen allows the puppeteers to magnify the shadows of the puppets.
