"Artistic Place where Hindu deities are sculpted" |
|

|
It is a traditional village, in Kolkata, where potters intricately and carefully sculpt the idols of Hindu deities that are to become the centre-piece of Kolkata's many vivid religious ceremonies. It is an astonishing place where one can behold the spectacle of deities being created out of the clay and then adorned with colourful decorations.
