An empty ice cream or fevicol cup, a piece of brightly coloured marble paper, a length of twine, gum felt paper, a ping pong ball and some bindis.
Cut the marble paper into a rectangular shape, and make half-inch vertical cuts all along its length on one side. On the ping pong ball stick the bindis to form the eyes, nose and mouth of the doll. Cover the ice
cream cup with felt paper and decorate it as you wish. Stick the marble paper along the rim of the cup to form a fringe. With a sharp pointed object like a needle pierce a hole through the centre of the cup and right through the ball. Tie one end of the string below the chin of the doll and leave the upper end free to hold the face with.
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
