Set in a marketplace, the series began airing in April 2005. The local Muppet characters include Halum the Bengal Tiger; Ikri Mikri, a small blue monster; Shiku, a jackal; and Tuktuki, a young girl. The show has no full-body character. Additionally, the series features traditional Bangladeshi puppets, crafted by designer Mustafa Manwar and not by the Muppet Workshop, who appear in separate segments within Ikri's imagination, a realm known as "Ikri's World." The development of this show and the production of its first season were profiled in the documentary The World According to Sesame Street.
