The performers of Sakhi Kundhei are the Ahir Kelas of Cuttack, Kendrapada and Dhenkanal districts, who probably migrated from northern India to Bengal first and then to Orissa over a hundred years ago. They speak a mix of Bengali and Oriya. The itinerant puppeteers travel from village to village, performing whenever possible, sitting on mat on the floor with the audience around them.
