In one of the narrow lanes of North Kolkata sovabazar, Kumartuli is situated. It's a potter's locality. Here, clay idols are manufactured for festivities like Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, and more. And also for export purpose. This locality is almost 300 years old and generations are involved in this artistic process. Their livelihood is dependent on idol making.
Kumortuli is a traditional potters quarter in northern Kolkata,West Bengal.The city is renowned for its sculpting prowess. The ambience of this place is very awesome.
Kumortuli is one of my favourite places in Kolkata. I love this place and now it is kind of heaven for me..
Famous place in Kolkata for Idol maker. It's near Sovabazar metro station in Kolkata. People generally visit here before Durga Pujo to buy Durga Idol.
Heaven for sculptors - painters - photographers!!! You'll get to see the Idols in their rawest forms of Straw frame to the finished coloured and worshipful form - All at one place... The whole locality is flooded with workshops and artists sweating for perfection in their work - be it Getting the mould right, Plastering and sculpting, carving or Painting. But you must go during morning, cause these workshops get closed soon and neither are there bright lights, which can help in photography. Amazing place to explore culture as well
