Journey into the heart of Kolkata’s artistic soul with an ethnographic exploration of its revered Mritshilpis, the master clay idol makers of Kumartuli. This insightful work unveils how these artisans craft their elevated identities, adapting to markets driven by urbanisation and cultural commodification. Delve into the fascinating interplay of traditional occupations, identity politics, and the evolving cultural economy of India. This book is indispensable for students and researchers in sociology, anthropology, urban studies, and art history seeking deep insights into Indian cultural practices.
