Hand-modelled clay idols made for Ganesh Chaturthi and other festival installations.
Understand
Clay idol making sees a surge each year ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, when artisans across Karnataka's towns and cities produce Ganesha idols for home and public installation.
Idol makers build a form from local clay over a straw or wire frame, shape the details by hand, then dry and paint the finished idol before the festival.
