Abstract

This paper aims to provide a new generation's perspective on how Kumartuli of Kolkata, West Bengal, has shaped a deep nostalgic meaning among the people, particularly during the Durga Puja festival. It also goes over the fascinating history of how this place came to be and what is seen here. This is one of the most popular places in the world for producing some of the finest unfired clay images of gods and goddesses for the various occasions celebrated by Bengalis worldwide. This sculptor colony offers a fascinating view of more than 400 artists etching through clay brought from the nearby Ganges River. It has evolved into a trade that supports many people's livelihoods. Many other services and people who have a deep respect for the workers of this place support this industry. However, this generation faces numerous challenges, which are also discussed in the paper.
