The Street Where Gods Are Born Without Eyes !!

Kumartuli is not a place to see idols, it is a place to see how gods are born.

The name itself means the locality of the kumars, the potters. After Plassey in 1757, when the British were building new Calcutta, they brought potter families from Krishnanagar and Nabadwip and gave them this narrow strip of land between Shobhabazar and Ahiritola, right by the Ganga. The reason was practical - the soft alluvial clay of the river, the entel mati, and Kumartuli Ghat to bring in straw and bamboo and later to immerse. For more than 250 years, the same few lanes off Banamali Sarkar Street have been making gods every year.

An idol here is not made, it is grown. It begins in Magh on Saraswati Puja with Kathamo Puja, the worship of the bamboo skeleton. Then straw is tied, then the first layer of Ganga clay, then finer bele mati from Uluberia, and finally the face. The eyes are not painted till Mahalaya, on the day of Chokkhu Daan. Till then the form is just clay, after that she starts looking at you. That is why they are not called idol-makers but mritshilpi, artists of earth.

I have been there many times and I plan to visit again this year in early October, before the rush. For me, Kumartuli is our philosophy made visible. We have two kinds of gods - one in stone, permanent in temples, and one in clay, who comes for five days and dissolves back into the river. Standing in a dark workshop with twenty half-made Durgas staring without eyes, you understand Avaahan and Visarjan - we invite with love and we let go with love. The same river that gives the clay takes it back, and every year the artist begins again from nothing.

If you go, go early morning from Shobhabazar, walk through the inner lanes, ask before you photograph, talk to the old shilpis, and end at Kumartuli Ghat. Go before Mahalaya. That silence is more powerful than any final pandal.

Reclaim the night - Participated in the midnight protest over the r**e & murder of the 31 year old doctor at Kolkata's R G Kar College & Hospital.

Could not be convinced totally.....on it's productivity.

But truly felt that such a soft protest would definitely need an aggressive follow up by us all to ensure the following:
- Arrest & prosecution
- Hospital administration Accountability
- Improved security measures
- Support for the victim's family
- Review of medical college policies
- Government Intervention
- Justice & closure with a sense of assurance that such incidents will be prevented in the future.

Jai Hind 🙏
