Cocos (Keeling) Islands issued a set of 4 stamps on shadow puppets on October 16, 2018 depicting character from Indian mythological epics Ramayana/Mahabharta.

Need help in identifying the character on these stamps.

Tip: It would be nice, Satish,
to advise us the avenues you have already travelled.
That would save us doubling up on searching info.
Good Luck

You may be able to identify some characters, taken from this site,
by dress, appearance, clothing, weapons etc.

Example:
Rama is represented in puppet theatre and the shadow theatre as a "dark-skinned" prince with a noble bearing, with his hair worn long and his clothing richly ornamented. He is also shown as a warrior carrying a bow and an inexhaustible quiver of arrows. If the character of Rama is made of leather, the figure appears almost androgynous, with a delicate profile and eyes highlighted with make-up, often shown beneath a parasol, as in the togalu gombeyata.

Hi Rod222,
I tried both the avenues. No reply.

Satish,
good try, I would now just leave on the back burner,
hoping an Indonesian collector may come aboard, and shed some light.
Collect long enough, and most queries can be answered.
