Kumartuli: Where Durga Puja Idols Are Handmade in Kolkata

In a small Kolkata neighborhood called Kumartuli, artisans create beautiful clay idols for the Durga Puja festival.

These artists work hard, shaping goddesses by hand, and their workshops come alive as the festival nears.

The idols, destined for local celebrations and communities worldwide, are carefully crafted using traditional methods.

Visitors can see the artisans at work, painting eyes, and adding details.

These artists create the idols, which are later immersed in the river, marking the end and beginning of the cycle for Durga Puja.
