“In street photography, there’s no hiding. You’re out in the middle of the action and have to rely on your own judgment, ability, and courage as a photographer to make a meaningful photograph.” – Alex Webb
Kumartuli, the “Potter’s Town,” is a centuries old neighborhood nestled in North Kolkata, West Bengal, India, where tradition breathes through clay. It has been the heartland of clay idol making in Kolkata, home to generations of skilled artisans. This historic hub is where idols of gods and goddesses are lovingly sculpted by hand, blending devotion, artistry and cultural pride. Every corner tells a story, and every sculpture carries the soul of Bengal’s sacred heritage.

Makers of Gods, Keepers of Tradition…
In the narrow lanes of Kumartuli, artistry and devotion come together in the hands of gifted sculptors who breathe life into clay. These divine creators are more than craftsmen : They are storytellers, preserving centuries old traditions through every delicate contour, soulful gaze, and sacred detail. With skill passed down through generations, they continue to shape the sacred, turning earth into icons of worship and wonder.

GuptiparaRathayatra
Since the 1730s–1740s, Guptipara in Hooghly has been home to one of Bengal’s grandest chariot festivals, rivaled only by Puri in significance. This chariot festival originally established by Swami Madhusudananda from the Vrindavan Chandra Jiu Math Known as the “Brindaban Chandra Jiu Rath”, this stunning four‑tiered, 36‑foot-high, Nine Shikhara, Nabaratna Style Chariot. The chariot embarks on a 1.5 km procession gliding through the lush green grass from Brindaban Chandra Math to Gundicha house in Gosainganj Barabazar is a sight is watch.
For photographers, Guptipara’s Rathayatra is a visual feast: the towering chariot adorned with flags, the energized crowd pulling the ropes, the rustic textures of wood and clay, and the burst of spiritual devotion. This festival offers a rare chance to capture dynamic rituals, cultural depth, and authentic faith in motion, all against the backdrop of Bengal’s rural heritage.
