Kolkata: Woman Drying Sari

I couldn’t quite figure out what it is that the woman with parted teeth was telling her neighbour drying her sari along the length of the exposed red brick wall. Whatever it was, it was no laughing matter though I did see them exchange smiles later.

 

Throngs of visitors crowded the narrow lanes in Kumartuli to watch and photograph artisans busy completing Durga idols in time for Panchami. It was Durga Pujo in Kolkata.

 

We meandered among curious visitors and hard-at-work artisans who were recovering from the setback posed by unexpected rains.
