The soual of Kumartuli lies in its artisan community, consisting of skilled potters and

artists who have honed their craft over generations. These artisans create stunning

clay idols of deities, meticulously crafting every detail, from facial expressions to

Durga Puja being the most significant. The process of idol making is a year-round

endeavour, but it reaches its zenith in the months leading up to the festivals.

canvas for photographers and cultural enthusiasts alike. Kumartuli is more than just a

neighbourhood; its a living, breathing testament to the rich cultural heritage of Kolkata. Its a

place where art is a way of life, and tradition is preserved through creativity. Whether you are

a devotee, an art lover, or a curious traveller, Kumartuli offers an unforgettable experience

that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the intersection of art, culture, and

spirituality.
