Step into the magical lanes of Kumortuli, Kolkata — the legendary potters’ quarter of West Bengal, where clay comes alive and transforms into divine idols. Known as the “Creator of Gods”, Kumortuli is home to generations of artisans who dedicate their lives to sculpting deities for Durga Puja, Kali Puja, and countless festivals across India and abroad.
In this documentary, we bring you an intimate look into their world:
✨ From collecting sacred clay from the riverbanks of the Ganga,
✨ Building the bamboo and straw frames that form the idol’s skeleton,
✨ Layering the clay with patience and precision,
✨ Sculpting intricate details by hand,
✨ Painting and decorating with vibrant colors, fabrics, and ornaments.
Through heartfelt interviews, the potters of Kumortuli share their traditions, struggles, and pride in keeping this centuries-old craft alive. This film is not just about art — it is about devotion, culture, survival, and the timeless bond between artisans and the divine.
🎥 Whether you are a lover of art, history, culture, or spirituality, this journey into Kumortuli will leave you inspired.
