The making of Ganesha

With just 2 days to go for Ganesha puja, patuapara in Kalighat is buzzing with activity. Artisans are fighting the odds to meet the deadlines. But frequent rains are giving them the jitters. The Ganesha idol was drying in the late afternoon sun. I liked the soft directional light.
