Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The most incredible place in Kolkata and in India!
I've spent over a year travelling around India and Kumartuli was by far the most beautiful experience I've had.
It's a peaceful refuge from the chaos of Kolkata. The potters barely noticed I was there as they went about their work with deep concentration.
You will see deity statues at all different stages of their creation in the dozens of little workshops in alleyways in this little area, Kumartuli Potters Lane.
You could spend just one hour here or get immersed in it for as long as you like.
You do not need a guide. You can read on google in depth about this place, and talk to the potters and shop keepers for more personal insights.
I enjoyed the peaceful ambience without a guide and there were barely any tourists there.
The locals living in this area are genuinely friendly and helpful and won't bother you unless you ask for help, in which case they gladly will!
You will feel like you've stepped into another world here.

Had I not been with a local, I would never have known. Lovely local area, traditional potters' quarter. So nice to watch these talented individuals go about their work. You could also see traditional houses and shops. Lovely walk. Go beyond the main parts to discover hidden alleys, colourful buildings and local life. Like stepping back in time. Peaceful. When I went in January 2024, they were preparing for Saraswati Puja in February, so this was nice to see.

It was difficult to imagine that the statues looking like marble or bronze were actually based on straw figures covered in mud from the Ganges. You could see each of the stages here from the straw shape to the finished painted statue.
These statues are used in rituals in the river and so the mud is eventually returned to the Ganges from where it came.

I visited the place my trip to Kolkata and Durga Pooja. The whole area has a big park where they had organised the pandal and it was really beautiful. Every year they come with such unique themes. Apart from the park, you can also visit ghat which is just nearby and sip cup of tea there and feel the breeze of the river. After that, you can also walk around the streets of Kumartuli and its a must to-do list. This is the street where all the idols of Durga maa are made and designed in Kolkata. You will get the vibes of the festival in the street. You can watch them making the sculpture and statues of the Goddess. One can savour the beauty of old buildings and houses which are still there since 18the century. Its really great to feel the old vibes of the city since this is the most centre point of Kolkata. I visited during the festive time and missed visiting in day time hours.
Although one is not allowed to enter their shop especially women but you can watch it from outside which is enthralling. Also enjoy the street food there.
There is no ticket to any of these areas. I am not sure about the park since I went during the Pooja.

Kumartuli Potters Lane is an experience that cannot he missed while in Kolkata. Generation after generation of craftsmen continue to create magic with clay and seeing them in action is a privilege. Handcrafted sculpture, beautiful idols, traditional creativity and so much more is what one gets to see while strolling down potters lane. Highly recommend!

Ces sculpteurs (doués) de l'éphémère partent de matériaux très simples (paille, ciment, couleurs) et les transforment en Dieux ou en animaux... Leur créativité est assez remarquable et une promenade dans ces échoppes peut vous conduire jusqu'au fleuve où vous pourrez revenir vers le pont en bateau local pour un prix très faible. Remontez vers la droite en arrivant au fleuve vous trouverez une embarcadère.

Great experience take a local taxi to where the local clay gods and deities are made for the many Hindu festivals. The sculptures are made of clay from the river and decorated and painted. These are small lanes with 100’s of potters as you wander down alleys, you see various gods and goddesses in various states of manufacture. We found it absolutely fascinating and self guided. People are friendly and willing to show their work. You can even buy one if you want! But ensure you haggle in a friendly way.

Hindu festivals need idols of their popular dieties--year after year, festival after festival. Why? Because the clay statues are destroyed during or after each festival. This neighborhood has been the primary supplier of these statues for eons. It's filled with dozens of small workshops that produce the needed statues. Most are open to the street and tolerate tourists to loiter and gawk! We were escorted by a guide, which was nice. But unlike our outing to the Kolkata Flower Market the same day, we could probably have managed this outing on our own pretty successfully. We may not have intruded into quite as many workshops alone. But there was lots to see just strolling the narrow streets. A truly fascinating outing.

Kumartuli is a locality in the older part ( North ) of Kolkata . This is the place where local
artisans make the earthen idols of various God's . With " Baaro Maase Tero Parbon " ( literally translated as thirteen festivals in twelve months ) , the area is active throughout the year . Kumartuli hosts the workshops and also the residences of the artisans . Proximity to the Ganges river , which provides Gangamaati ( the mud from the Ganges ) for the idols, makes the place convenient for the artisans .Though famous internationally for it's workmanship , narrow alleys give the place a dirty and congested look . The artisans also are apparently poor as they do not receive a proper price for the idols . We witnessed the idols of Goddess Saraswati in the making , yesterday . An ideal spot to witness real Kolkata which decks up the whole city barring itself .

Apart from Kumartoli, which other places/markets in Bengal are famous for making idols?

I heard that the artists here charge for taking their photos and works, is that true? And, is Kumortuli save for a solo traveller?
Skrevet 24. desember 2017
Well friend ,I do not know your nationality.As far as i know the artists are a very simple lot .There could be some unscrupulous unruly young guys who may indulge in such acts.The place may look dingy ,but is pretty safe. Contact a friend in Kolkata who can take you around.I also visit the place sometimes.
