The making of Durga is a long process. A straw structure is made then clay is put on the straw and final shape is given. It is indeed a masterly work of the artisans. Here is some moments of the making of durga from a studio in Kolkata. These pictures are from the studio of Kumortuli the artist has been kind enough to allow us to take these pictures. Our sincere thanks to Kumortuli and all his artist who have been making these wonderful idols. Images from the Artisan Studio Kumortuli
This involves lot of artists, and other people who work day and night in making the idols of clay. Other decorative items are made by hand. It involves a proces of 2-4 months before everythings gets ready. In Kolkata the idols are made in Kumartuli a place where where all artisans work, it is in the northern frings of the city near the river Ganga.
