Durga Puja Pandals | Inside Mumbai's Durga Idol Workshop | How Maa Durga Comes To Life

every year, artisans travel from Kolkata to Mumbai, spending months away from their families to create Durga idols for the city's Puja celebrations. Inside a Mumbai workshop, 20 artisans craft around 30 idols, keeping Bengal's rich artistic traditions alive for the thousands who gather to celebrate Maa Durga. From shaping the idols to the delicate final strokes of painting her eyes, every detail reflects years of craftsmanship, faith and devotion. For these artisans, the work doesn't end with Durga Puja. They continue creating idols for Kali Puja, carrying their traditions far from home. NDTV takes you inside the workshop to meet the hands behind Mumbai's Durga Puja celebrations — the people who bring Maa Durga home for others, even as they remain away from their own.
