Kumartuli - Where the Gods come to Earth

here hunderds of artists, artisans and other fulfillment vendors toil day and night to bring to the city the idols of Hindu Gods and Godesses for the numerous religious festivoities that Bengal has. They say, "In Bengal there are 13 festivals in 12 months" and so the place is mostly buzzing with activity. With us you get to see the following: 1. Understand and see the process of idol making including the complete supply chain explanation 2. Marvel at the expertise and creativity of artists who have not gone to celebrated Art colleges 3. Be sensitised on the concept of eco-frioendliness and recycling along with the plusses and the minuses 4. Interact with the local artists (with complete respect towards their privacy and work ) to understand the work better 5. Be one with the cultural Heritage of Bengal and India
