Art of Craft 2: The arena of great creativity :Durga Puja
Durga Puja is one of those times, when we get a chance to see the works of the craftsmen of bengal all across the puja pandals. However most of us spend the Durga Puja hopping pandals and keeping our eyes glued to the idol. Think about the artists. They toil hard for 4-6 months to come up with the decorations. And all these hard work lasts only 4 days. Is it the passion of the artists that bring the best of art from them during this puja? Or is it the basic needs of food & money that drives them?
Found this fishes made of seashells in a pandal in South Kolkata. Amazing intricacies - each of the fishes looked so similar, crafted by some master craftsman.
One of the puja pandals decided to have Chhau masks as their primary decoration theme. These beautiful masks are made of clay and the art of making these masks are passed on from generations.
Watch an youtube video on the art of Chaau mask making here
Some more from the Puja pandals. A collage made from plastic plates. Watch the use of colors. Makes such rustic art so intricate. And a sculpture from one of the pandals in North Kolkata.
A beautiful craft which adorns some unnoticed corner of the pandal.
Have you captured any such exquisite craft work while pandal hopping? Share with Jhaalmuri and let all get a glimpse of such extraordinary creativity.

The Art of Craft 1: The Ribbon Candy Man
My childhood days were spent in the quiet lanes of a small town in Assam. Sundays meant playing outdoors till mid-noon, until we got that final call from parents to get in. It was then the ribbon candy man came to our neighborhood. His bicycle made a strange buzzing noise. He mostly came in Sundays afternoon. A whole bunch of children would flock around him.
He pulled out a bit of sugar ribbon (a white one with three stripes of red in between) from that magic box of his. We would stand around that white piece in his hand and wonder what would he make of it today. Yes, it was not just a blob of sugar ribbon. Because soon our candy man would turn them into a beautiful peacock, vanity bag, rose or a fish - in seconds. It remained not just a candy but a toy. We had in our palms 10 or 20 paisa which we exchanged for those toys. Or candy. Whatever you think. The toy,or candy brought gleam to our eyes. And it brought a smile at our candyman's face.
The candyman was a craftsman, a talented one. He was a master in the craft of making toys out of simple sugar candy. And that art brought smiles to us.
In our walk of life we find so many such candy man - one who tries to do a little bit different, from their usual routine. And that sprinkles some sweetness in our memories.
Jhaalmuri salutes such skilled craftsman. Share your story of your candyman. Those who had brought a smile or still brings a lovely rush of memory.

Did He who made the lamb make thee?
"Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? "
In the forests of the night,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? "
