Giving Life From Clay |
Description |
500px provided description: Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) is a traditional potters' quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. The city is famous as a sculpting hot-spot which manufactures clay idols for various festivals and also regularly exports them. A typical workshop of the clay artists or karigars at Kumartuli is a linear rectangular room with an entrance facing the road or the lane. As you enter the workshop, there are rows of idols stored on either side. The walls are of bricks and slopping roof of tin shades supported on bamboo truss system and has mezzanine floors. The height of these workshop ranges from 18 feet to 20 feet. Very few units have conventional staircases while the rest have wooden or steel ladders. These structures have temporary roof because the artist and karigars usually come to these workshops only before a festival to complete their work. This is the idol of Hindu Goddess Kali the destroyer of evil forces. In Bengal and Orissa, Kali's extended tongue is widely seen as expressing embarrassment over the realization that her foot is on her husband's chest [#500px ,#artist ,#photography ,#festival ,#potter ,#clay ,#mobile ,#idol ,#Pujo ,#India ,#Kolkata ,#Asia ,#West Bengal ,#Calcutta ,#National Geographic ,#Goddess ,#Hinduism ,#Kali ,#Kumortuli ,#Natgeo ,#Kumartuli ,#Lonelyplanet ,#Angshuman ,#karigar] |
