“While walking through the streets of Kumortuli, Kolkata, I came across a man crafting the idol of Goddess Kali. As he painted her hands, he seemed lost in thought, deeply absorbed in his art. In that moment, it felt as though his work was not just creation, but a spiritual communion with the divine.”
