Summary[edit]

Description
English: The picture represents the preparation of Durga Puja is a Hindu festival which is celebrated annually in the Indian state of West Bengal, particularly in the capital city of Kolkata. It is a 10-day long festival, which commemorates the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. The artisans start by making a bamboo frame for the idol, called a kathamo. They bind straw over it to give it structure, and then apply clay on top to give it its final shape. After drying the statue in the sun for a few days, they paint and decorate it.
