Description
This Book Is A Tribute To The Image-Makers Of Kumortuli, As Well As A Social And Cultural Account Of Durga Puja-The Most Important Religious Festival Of Bengal. The Potter Community Of Kolkata, The Kumors As They Are Colloquially Known, Are More Than What The Name Suggests-They Are Artists. Tangible Images Of Deities That Form The Crux Of Hindu Worship, Find Shape In The Hands Of These Artisans, Who, With Sheer Dedication To The Craft, Have Kept The Tradition Alive For Generations. Durga Puja, On The Other Hand, Is Not Only The Major Religious Festival Of Bengal But Has Also Evolved Into A Cultural Extravaganza. From The Point Of View Of Sheer Vastness And Magnitude Of Organisational Mobilisation, It Is Comparable Only To The Global Impact Of Christmas. Through Vivid Photographs And Absorbing Text, The Book Captures KolkataS Spirit Of Artistic Creativity And Spiritual Ecstasy, Embodied In These Ephemeral Constructs Of Clay, Straw And Bamboo. It Also Sensitively Documents BengalS Unique And Most Enduring Cultural Heritage Of Image Worship.
