An idol-making workshop (be it the legendary ones of Kumortuli or from any small town) can be a fascinating place for a kid. To witness magic unfold in front of your eyes, wherein wooden frames, straw bundles and layers of clay are manoeuvred to give form to the divine, is indeed something!!!! I remember visiting the local workshops just before Durga Pujo, and stare in disbelief at the workmanship. I mean, don't they all deserve awards and immense recognition for their craft?? Especially for the finesse with which they paint the eyes. Simply mind-boggling.
