Kumortuli is every art lover's paradise. Be it sketching or photography, art lover's throng this place before all the major pujas to catch a glimpse of idol making.
The ancient art of adding shape to clay and painting the idols in beautiful hues is best seen here. Walk the narrow bylanes and witness generations of culture, heritage and history.
I've visited this place both before Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja.
Watching the idols come to life is a treat for the eyes.
Do visit next time you are in the ' City of Joy'.
