Kumartuli – The Hidden Art District

Wander through narrow alleys where clay transforms into gods. Here, you’ll see artisans working with intense focus — molding, painting, and perfecting divine idols, especially before Durga Puja.
🎨 It’s a sensory experience: the smell of clay, the sight of unfinished eyes, and the rhythm of devotion.
📷 Tip: Visit during early morning or just before Durga Puja for the most activity and photo opportunities.
🧵 Take home: Small handcrafted idols or souvenirs made by local artists.
