He
breathes life into mud, but only to see his creations get
destroyed after their completion. Yet he does not allow hopelessness
to take hold of him. For him, every day brings a new hope
and beginning. That is the reason why every year after the
submergence of idols in river waters during the Durga Puja
celebrations, he zealously begins to work again.
Each idol has a distinct appearance
and expression. You will see a benign expression on the face
of a goddess, while the figure of a warrior may have anger
oozing out of his eyes. After the idols are made, the artists
paint them in alluring colours. |
