The settlement of Kumartuli, meaning "potter locality" (Kumar = potter. Tuli = locality), is over 300 years old. It was formed by a bunch of pNowadays, around 150 families live there, earning a living by sculpting idols for the various festivals.
In the lead up to Durga Puja, thousands of artisans (many who are hired from other areas) toil diligently in approximately 550 workshops to complete the idols of Durga in time for the festival. What's pleasing to note is that the idols are made out of meenvironntally friendly materials such as bamboo and clay.otters who came to the area in search of a better livelihood.
The majority of Durga idols are crafted by lesser known artisans, who are experimental in nature. However, there are a few renowned names that make traditional idols that inspire deep devotion. One such person is Ramesh Chandra Pal, who works out of his studio at Raja Nabakrishna Street. There's always a rush to see his idols during Durga puja.
If you love art, you shouldn't miss visiting Kumartuli. But regardless, it's a place that offers a unique dose of culture.
The narrow maze of lanes and alleyways team with humanity, and gods and goddesses in various states of creation. Wandering through them, and seeing the artists at work, reveals a fascinating world within a world right in front of you.
One thing to keep in mind though, is that the area can be a
bit dirty and unkempt -- but don't let it put you off it!
Kumartuli sits on the banks of the River Hooghly, a tributary of the Ganges and old jute godowns line the bank. Kumartuli is not only the potters’ town, it is the poetry of potters. It is the actual relation between art & artist. If we are possible to see it in a different way, then we will understand that keeping witness in the pages of history, it not easy to describe kumartuli. Because inside Kumartuli, another Kumartuli is hidden. There are no stories made from Kumartuli, it itself is an example of a story.
It is the temple of arts where the artist has continuously saved the art. Generation after generation the tradition of art was maintained. In every statue of mud, we can see the artist’s art existence & their angle of vision. With their small bare experienced hands they have continued to celebrate. In keeping art alive there are many problems. They are alive for their art by defending those problems.
The smell of soil, the movement of the brush is soul of Kumartuli. Here every day is celebration and the celebration is for the art. It is a continual process. Here the tradition goes and whose every layers are filled with culture, pride & nostalgia.
The most interesting part of visiting Kumartuli is to see the workers toiling away the clay in hands. How their expert hands curving, trimming away. Even when they pause to look up and answer the interrupter their hands hardly stop, they keep at it, rubbing, shaping, patting the clay and water bit by bit.
Making jewelries and dresses of Devi Durga is another astonishing art of Kumartuli. A large section of artists of this area involve in this work. They make dazzling and shiny accessories with amazing skills and conceptions that makes the idol of goddess Durga more bright and vibrant. The accessories are always compatible with the sculptures, as there are so many types of accessories.
In Kumartuli human hands give birth and shape to the divine. The narrow lanes are flooded with mud figures, and a bevy of artists bring them to life. The rotund Ganesh, the kingly Kartik, the enthralling goddess Lakshmi, Saraswati and above all Durga, jostle for space.
The wooden sticks tied with hay form the skeleton while the mud forms the flesh. The paints are lovingly applied with graceful brush strokes. The sari is draped. Gold paper, jewellery and weapons adorn the graceful figures- at once according them a magical luminescence. Behold! Goddess Durga has arrived!
It’s time again- for religion, art and business to blend together. Revelers and late night shoppers will once again roam the streets. Neighbourhoods will wake to the roll of the dhak, the city will be lit up with neon lights and the smell of the pujas will fill the air. The city will celebrate, all over again.

As a director of this documentary film I saw those Idol Artists of Kumartuli . They are suffering from various problems in society and they are struggling for their existence. My main aim is to attract our WEST BENGAL GOVERNMENT as well as our SOCIETY to help this artisans of Kumartuli. Can't we not work together for them ??? We spend Crores of Rupees in the festivals and throw away so much wealth but do we think of these great artisans on whose shoulders such luxuries and fun have been possible???Is it not possible to help these great people and save this legacy by using MODERN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY,giving them PROPER SHELTER , PROPER WORKING PLACE ,PROPER SANITARY SYSTEM and ENOUGH FINANCIAL HELP??? What will happen if the next generation of artists abandon this art due to economic and social pressures???
Will this great legacy then not fade away??? It is our prayer to the almighty god as well as to the WEST BENGAL GOVT. that the pain of these artists be taken away, these people should not float away in the waves of uncertainty, their dreams, their talent and legacy not go to waste. May the light of life shine in these great artisans so that in the process of flowing the legacy of Kumartuli never drowns.......DR SHUBHRA BASU AICH ( DIRECTOR )

VISIT AT KUMARTULI KOLKATA 2016 PART 2. MAKING OF GODDESS DURGA IDOL AT KUMORTULI KOLKATA IN FULL SWING 2016. WORK IN KUMORTULI KOLKATA IN FULL SWING YEAR 2016. VISIT KUMORTULI KOLKATA 2016.
Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) (Bengali: কুমোরটুলি) is a traditionally potters’ quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. By virtue of their artistic productions these potters have moved from obscurity to prominence. This Kolkata neighbourhood, not only supplies clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses to barowari pujas in Kolkata and its neighbourhoods, but a number of idols are exported.It is one of the seven wonders in Kolkata.
Kumortuli images are generally ordered well in advance and there a few for off-the-shelf sale. Nowadays, Kumortuli’s clientele has extended to America, Europe and Africa, among the Indian communities living there. In 1989, Durga images made out of shola pith by Amarnath Ghosh were flown to Sweden, Australia, Malaysia and Nigeria. The images weighed only three kilograms each and were ideally suited for air travel.In modern times, Statues and replicas made out of Fiberglass are also being produced and exported to various parts of the country and the world.
In 2006, Kumortuli supplied 12,300 clay deities of goddess Durga. This potter's town supplies images to about 90 countries worldwide with new nations joining the list every year. Many East European countries, where religious ceremonies were previously banned, have started buying images from Kumortuli. A spokesman of Kumartuli Shilpi Sangha (KSS), an association of the craftsmen, said the NRIs of countries like Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia, Austria and Poland, come to Kumortuli to buy images. U.S. based NRIs, including the Bengali Association of Southern California, Bengali Association of Greater Chicago, Dakshini, Sanskriti, Garden State Puja Committee of New Jersey, East Coast Durga Puja Committee of New York, North America Sarbojanin Kalipuja Association of Connecticut come to Kumartuli to select deities to ship to their cities.

Kumortuli
Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) (Bengali: কুমোরটুলি) is a traditionally potters’ quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. By virtue of their artistic productions these potters have moved from obscurity to prominence. This Kolkata neighbourhood, not only supplies clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses to barowari pujas in Kolkata and its neighbourhoods, but a number of idols are exported.It is one of the seven wonders in Kolkata.
History
The British colonisation of Bengal and India started following the victory of the British East India Company in the Battle of Plassey in 1757. The Company decided to build new settlement Fort William at the site of the Gobindapur village. Most of the existing population shifted to Sutanuti. While such neighbourhoods as Jorasanko and Pathuriaghata became the centres of the local rich, there were other areas that were developed simultaneously. The villages of Gobindapur, Sutanuti and Kalikata developed to give rise to the later day metropolis of Calcutta.

The smell of soil, the movement of the brush is soul of Kumartuli. Here every day is celebration and the celebration is for the art. It is a continual process. Here the tradition goes and whose every layers are filled with culture, pride & nostalgia.
The most interesting part of visiting Kumartuli is to see the workers toiling away the clay in hands. How their expert hands curving, trimming away. Even when they pause to look up and answer the interrupter their hands hardly stop, they keep at it, rubbing, shaping, patting the clay and water bit by bit.
Making jewelries and dresses of Devi Durga is another astonishing art of Kumartuli. A large section of artists of this area involve in this work. They make dazzling and shiny accessories with amazing skills and conceptions that makes the idol of goddess Durga more bright and vibrant. The accessories are always compatible with the sculptures, as there are so many types of accessories.
In Kumartuli human hands give birth and shape to the divine. The narrow lanes are flooded with mud figures, and a bevy of artists bring them to life. The rotund Ganesh, the kingly Kartik, the enthralling goddess Lakshmi, Saraswati and above all Durga, jostle for space.
The wooden sticks tied with hay form the skeleton while the mud forms the flesh. The paints are lovingly applied with graceful brush strokes. The sari is draped. Gold paper, jewellery and weapons adorn the graceful figures- at once according them a magical luminescence. Behold! Goddess Durga has arrived!
It’s time again- for religion, art and business to blend together. Revelers and late night shoppers will once again roam the streets. Neighbourhoods will wake to the roll of the dhak, the city will be lit up with neon lights and the smell of the pujas will fill the air. The city will celebrate, all over again.

wn.com/The Potters' Poetry || Documentary Film On Kumartuli ||
Kumartuli sits on the banks of the River Hooghly, a tributary of the Ganges and old jute godowns line the bank. Kumartuli is not only the potters’ town, it is the poetry of potters. It is the actual relation between art & artist. If we are possible to see it in a different way, then we will understand that keeping witness in the pages of history, it not easy to describe kumartuli. Because inside Kumartuli, another Kumartuli is hidden. There are no stories made from Kumartuli, it itself is an example of a story.
It is the temple of arts where the artist has continuously saved the art. Generation after generation the tradition of art was maintained. In every statue of mud, we can see the artist’s art existence & their angle of vision. With their small bare experienced hands they have continued to celebrate. In keeping art alive there are many problems. They are alive for their art by defending those problems.
The smell of soil, the movement of the brush is soul of Kumartuli. Here every day is celebration and the celebration is for the art. It is a continual process. Here the tradition goes and whose every layers are filled with culture, pride & nostalgia.
The most interesting part of visiting Kumartuli is to see the workers toiling away the clay in hands. How their expert hands curving, trimming away. Even when they pause to look up and answer the interrupter their hands hardly stop, they keep at it, rubbing, shaping, patting the clay and water bit by bit.
Making jewelries and dresses of Devi Durga is another astonishing art of Kumartuli. A large section of artists of this area involve in this work. They make dazzling and shiny accessories with amazing skills and conceptions that makes the idol of goddess Durga more bright and vibrant. The accessories are always compatible with the sculptures, as there are so many types of accessories.

As a director of this documentary film I saw those Idol Artists of Kumartuli . They are suffering from various problems in society and they are struggling for their existence. My main aim is to attract our WEST BENGAL GOVERNMENT as well as our SOCIETY to help this artisans of Kumartuli. Can't we not work together for them ??? We spend Crores of Rupees in the festivals and throw away so much wealth but do we think of these great artisans on whose shoulders such luxuries and fun have been possible???Is it not possible to help these great people and save this legacy by using MODERN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY,giving them PROPER SHELTER , PROPER WORKING PLACE ,PROPER SANITARY SYSTEM and ENOUGH FINANCIAL HELP??? What will happen if the next generation of artists abandon this art due to economic and social pressures???
Will this great legacy then not fade away??? It is our prayer to the almighty god as well as to the WEST BENGAL GOVT. that the pain of these artists be taken away, these people should not float away in the waves of uncertainty, their dreams, their talent and legacy not go to waste. May the light of life shine in these great artisans so that in the process of flowing the legacy of Kumartuli never drowns.......DR SHUBHRA BASU AICH ( DIRECTOR )

Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) (Bengali: কুমোরটুলি) is a traditionally potters’ quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. By virtue of their artistic productions these potters have moved from obscurity to prominence. This Kolkata neighbourhood, not only supplies clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses to barowari pujas in Kolkata and its neighbourhoods, but a number of idols are exported.It is one of the seven wonders in Kolkata.
Kumortuli images are generally ordered well in advance and there a few for off-the-shelf sale. Nowadays, Kumortuli’s clientele has extended to America, Europe and Africa, among the Indian communities living there. In 1989, Durga images made out of shola pith by Amarnath Ghosh were flown to Sweden, Australia, Malaysia and Nigeria. The images weighed only three kilograms each and were ideally suited for air travel.In modern times, Statues and replicas made out of Fiberglass are also being produced and exported to various parts of the country and the world.
In 2006, Kumortuli supplied 12,300 clay deities of goddess Durga. This potter's town supplies images to about 90 countries worldwide with new nations joining the list every year. Many East European countries, where religious ceremonies were previously banned, have started buying images from Kumortuli. A spokesman of Kumartuli Shilpi Sangha (KSS), an association of the craftsmen, said the NRIs of countries like Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia, Austria and Poland, come to Kumortuli to buy images. U.S. based NRIs, including the Bengali Association of Southern California, Bengali Association of Greater Chicago, Dakshini, Sanskriti, Garden State Puja Committee of New Jersey, East Coast Durga Puja Committee of New York, North America Sarbojanin Kalipuja Association of Connecticut come to Kumartuli to select deities to ship to their cities. Additionally, hundreds of agents in Kolkata service NRIs seeking idols from Kumortuli

http://www.TaoJourneys.com Terry Hodgkinson aka "wandering ninja" wanders back to India. The first leg of the trip was to Kolkata (Calcutta) home of beautiful late Mother Teresa. "I had forgotten many things about traveling in Mother India but they soon came rushing back in upon my arrival. I love India for her extreme diversity and the myriad of experiences you are sure to come across while traveling. One thing I have learned is that you have to take ALL the experiences to learn and fully appreciate her. It was really interesting to visit Mother Teresa's Mission House, it was quite impactful. I could only take a few video clips of the outside however as there is no video allowed inside. In the beginning of the video at the Victoria Moument there is a high pitch sound you will hear. It'...

Terry Hodgkinson aka "wandering ninja" wanders back to India. The first leg of the trip was to Kolkata (Calcutta) home of beautiful late Mother Teresa.
"I had forgotten many things about traveling in Mother India but they soon came rushing back in upon my arrival. I love India for her extreme diversity and the myriad of experiences you are sure to come across while traveling. One thing I have learned is that you have to take ALL the experiences to learn and fully appreciate her. It was really interesting to visit Mother Teresa's Mission House, it was quite impactful. I could only take a few video clips of the outside however as there is no video allowed inside. In the beginning of the video at the Victoria Moument there is a high pitch sound you will hear. It's a kid with a toy in his mouth blowthing through it. I wanted to mention this as I had one person email me and ask if it was a person or animal in distress. No it wasn't and yes the kid was having lots of fun, even if it was somewhat annoying to everyone else." - Terry Hodgkinson

The first part of the video clip is the Victoria Memorial. In the video I mentioned that it was for Queen Victoria's crowning but it was actually for her passing.
ABOUT VICTORIA MEMORIAL:
The Victoria Memorial, officially the Victoria Memorial Hall, is a memorial building dedicated to Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom, which is located in Kolkata, India -- the capital of West Bengal and a former capital of British India. It currently serves as a museum. The memorial was designed by Sir William Emerson using Indo-Saracenic style, incorporating Mughal elements in the structure. Lord Redesdale and Sir David Prain designed the gardens. The foundation stone of the memorial was laid down in the year 1906. The monument was intended to serve as a tribute to the success of the British Empire in India.
Architect Sir William Emerson laid down the actual plan of the memorial. The design of the structure represents a fusion of British and Mughal architecture. White Makrana marbles were used in the construction of Victoria Memorial Hall and the building was inaugurated in the year 1921. The massive hall is 338 feet (103 m) by 228 feet (69 m) and rises to a height of 184 feet (56 m).
ABOUT THE HOWRAH BRIDGE:
The Howrah Bridge is a Suspension type Balanced Cantilever bridge that spans the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. Commissioned in 1943, the bridge was originally named the New Howrah Bridge, because it links the city of Howrah to its twin city, Kolkata (Calcutta). On 14 June 1965 it was renamed Rabindra Setu, after the great Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore who was the first Indian and Asian Nobel laureate. However it is still popularly known as the Howrah Bridge.
Apart from bearing the stormy weather of the Bay of Bengal region, it successfully bears the weight of a daily traffic of approximately 100,000 vehicles and possibly more than 150,000 pedestrians, easily making it the busiest cantilever bridge in the world. The third longest cantilever bridge at the time of its construction, it is currently the sixth longest bridge of its type in the world.
ABOUT TAGORE HOUSE:
The Jorasanko Thakur Bari (Bengali: House of the Thakurs (anglicised to Tagore) in Kolkata, India is the ancestral home of the Tagore family. It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore was born. It is also the place where he spent most of his childhood and died on 7 August 1941.
ABOUT MOTHER TERESA MISSION HOUSE:
Many visitors pay respects at Mother Teresa's large, sober tomb within the Sisters of Charity's Motherhouse. There's a small museum displaying Teresa's worn sandals and battered enamel dinner-bowl. Upstairs, 'Mother's room' is preserved in all its simplicity with a crown-of-thorns above her modest camp-bed.
