Before Bappa Arrives
Before Bappa arrives, a large clay idol takes shape inside a workshop under a roof of wooden beams and dark sheets. The sculpture glows in warm peach and gold tones, adorned with detailed crowns and ornaments. A worker stands on a platform nearby, adding careful paint strokes to the intricate headpiece. This is how we prepare our spaces before the celebration begins.
