Took a short spin around Kumartuli idol maker lane to witness the mesmerizing idols being prepared for Durga Pujo. The idol makers work so hard with precision and skill to make the idols and decorations. The lane is quite narrow so prefer walking on foot or with a two wheeler. This place is also photographer friendly. Will visit once again when they start painting the idols.
Few weeks left for Durga pujo, 2021. Those first two photos were from 2020 pujo. Idk what will be happening in this pujo. But heres a glimpse of our Kumor Para aka Kumortuli, where you can already get that pujo vibes. As kolkata is known for the city of joy, it is also known for its durga pujo. I can write about this whole day and tokhuno itll not end.. also like our durga pujo.. it never ends.. we always say asche bochor abar hobe means it will happen again next year . Its never ends. Its a cycle. Its magical. Pujo is everything for every Bangali. If you want to experience this, come to Kolkata, the city of Durga Maa.
In North Kolkata one of the best Pujo is Kumurtuli park Sarbojonin Durgaa Puja.They a big park so their theme always big.Last time their theme was aliens and UFO..It looks very nice but the crowd control system totally failed on the evening the guards are behave very bad to the visitors..Entry gate was so small many people cant watch the idol or pandel properly.
Nostalgic about the age old kumor para of Kolkata especially after covid lockdown. One of must visits here during just before puja.
I am 30 years old and a passionate traveller hence never been to one of my dream destination kumortuli, it was a experience I expected ❤️, the streets where empty due to covid 19 lockdowns, and all shops are getting ready for the next biggest anthem of Bengali the durgapuja festival. It was quit it was just as dreamt of. I have always seen photos of kumortuli and now I have also visited it. If you are a art lover sculpture lover photographer you must visit this place once.
Visited 1 month ago, the place was great but they charged 50 rs per head just for visiting the place even we dont carred any camera.
Its a great place where all the godesses worshiped by the Hindu religion, temporary statues are made here.
One of my favourite place and peaceful ghat where you can spend time endlessly
Visited pre Saraswati puja during covid times .Crowdy place (expected) the idol makers are busy with their job .You can books idols before hand from here but for a outing if you consider a fantasy couple destination in North Kolkata with the Hooghly river just by the side.Good place for a small outing.
Lovely place near Ganges idol artist are creative with all types of lord 🙏 idols and negotiate price with customer service.
Its a very amazing place especially the river side of ganges...U can go here for mind refreshment as well as take the plenty of nature...
A small locality in Kolkata which was originally known as Coomartolly is a unique potter’s quarter in the northern part of the city of joy. The place is famous for its expertise with sculpting Indian Gods and Goddesses out of clay for different festivals in West Bengal throughout the year. They also export their idols to other countries and communities. The name of the famous street with the idol merchants is known as Banamali Sarkar Street. There’s a famous Hindu temple named Dhakeshwari Mata Temple nearby.
What a place it is, the idols,murals that Potters were preparing were looking as they will soon utter a word and start conversation. How fine they have carved those niche architecture from the soil. You can only experience that awesomeness once you visit that place and have a word with the people who are preparing those immortal idols.
Always gives you Durga puja vibe..especially in the mid of the year..
What to say about this place this is the place where you can find art everywhere. Where potters makes clay models of god, goddess, monuments of famous personals and Diyas too. It is one of the most beautiful place like youll love every bit of it.Cant explain how it feels but you should visit this place once.
This is not a permanent place. It operates seasonally only during the celebration of Durgapuja is there a marquee or pandal . Practically a few million people come here in that period to see the artistic displays...
I loved this place always ❣️ already went for photography with one
The crowd is forced. You have to stand for long hours to get in and have the view. Still when you reach they wont let you see the Goddesses properly and the whole atmosphere is very exhausting and suffocating!
Great pandal. But made people wait for 20 mins for making room to some vip s. Very bad practice and violating our CMs directive
You can find the spell of North calcutta. Kumortuli is the place where you can find the best mud artist..
Awsome place, Asweome artist, maa Durga 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰 will visit many items before Puja
Too much crowdy.. but they have a very good reputation of beautiful idol making. This year they got too much crowd that they cant handle very well . It was a long queue for the entrance but they gave only 4-5 seconds to have a glimpse of the idol and interior..!! And the volunteers werent that good too .
Good destination for Durga puja pandal hopping. Near the Ganga. Can visit the idol making shops nearby.
BEST DURGA PROTIMA. ... NOSTALGIC. .
Excellent place Durga pujo in heart of kumartuli....😌😌
One of the best Durga pujos un Kolkata.And definitely among the top 2in north Kolkata.They never fail to amuse.
Wonderful experience of Durga Puja. Best artistic work delivered.
Good durga puja with eco friendly message
Its a great place to visit during durga puja and any other time of the year if you truly want to enjoy north kolkata
Nice place with Nostalgic Heritage feeling of North Kolkata
Durga Puja of Kumartuli Sarbojonin Durgotsab Commitee is the one of the best ever seen Durga puja of Kolkata for the year 2019. Thinking of theme of the Pandal and Murti are just awesome. Any body must visit the Puja at Kumartuli Sarbojonin Durgotsab Commitee.
Its very good place which is located near bank of Hooghly river
The theme is Very nice. I thanked the peoples who had made this theme.
The durga puja and the puja pandel here in this year (2018) was simply mesmerizing
Very popular durga pujo for their modern theme based pandals & idol.
Place of idols. Place to visit during pujas
KKumartuli Sarbojanin is always a great attraction for us.This year the theme was climate change and air pollution.Such an innovative theme
Much of a tourist place in kolkata, just before the durga puja as it contains the clay structures of lord durga and her sons and daughters in creation making it a place great skill and art.
They add a different Aura and essence to the Durga they worship.Marvellous this year
One of the best puja pandals of Kolkata North. You should have to visit this place in durga puja.This year 2019 they build pandal based on space adventure with isro on Mars. As we all know kumartolli is the place where idols are created from mud and soil by the hands of local people(kumhars) . Here in kumartolli oark you will able to see the talents of those kumhars.
Most popular and heritage place in kolkata
You can find something amazing theme every year.
One of the oldest and famous place in North kolkata.basicslly this place famous for durga puja.Mostcof the time This place get many type award winner during Durga Puja.
Kumartolly sarbojojanin is a Durga puja authority in Kolkata with the best creative theme ideas can be see during Durga puja.But people can roam around the place during the whole year by watching artists creative efforts at kumartolly. They makes idols of Indian gods and sculptures with soil(Maati) and fiber casting during the whole year.At the streets of kumartolly brings up the vibe of nostalgia and it enriched with the nostalgic flavour of North Kolkata. People can see Ganga ghaat and enjoy the sunset at evening with having a cup of tea and some street foods there!
Its amazing
There are different artisans with their artworks, this is high time to book the idols for coming Durga puja this year ..
Visit this place during Durga Puja to experience fine artistry and creativity.
Beautiful madan mohan temple here
Kumartuli as usual was fantastic this year too. However, the crowd control was far from good. 1 hour of standing in queue, you not even get 1 min to explore the pandal.
Compatible pandal in this covid situation.
Awesome please 😊
Just awesome. A must visit place for tourists.
World most popular festival kolkata durga puja
Amazing theme and concept... Kumartuli Sarbojonin never falls to fulfill my expectations.
I always visit Kumartuli Sarbojonin puja pandal because every year there theme is unique. This time there theme is kalpataru.It is really amazing.
The pandal and the idol was superb.
Brilliant execution of theme and plan. Devi Idol every year is out of the box. Entry to the pandal is wide enough. The fair at the exit is an added bonus. Way out to other Durga Puja pandals indicated properly with lighted streets.
Wonderful decor. Wonderful Protima. Wonderful concept. Easily a top 3 of all in Kolkata. The crowd is huge as well. A must for any pandel enthusiast. It will be worth every sweat. Simply put. Majestic. Period.
I went for pandal hopping. The concept was awesome.
Awsome puja. Best idol of 2018. Must visit place.
This is the place in Kolkata near Shovabazar Sutanuti Metro Station where the idols of Goddess Durga is made for the biggest festival of Bengal, Durgotsav! Each year artisans from Kumartuli make out earthen idols of Ma Durga and even export them for pujas abroad and other states as well! 💞🙏
This is a famous Durga Pujo of Kolkata. Every year on this occasion huge number of people came here to see this puja mondop. People can come here by launch from Howrah ferry ghat.
Nice place. Bank of river Ganga.
Worst experience ever .. they were so violent the volunteers nd puja committee doesnt allow visitors to stand for a nano sec there... Moreover the guards were bitting the visitors who were taking photos... people where not allowed to take pictures inside the puja pandel if they were caught by guards doing this they were bitten badly by guards
One of the oldest puja committee of Kumartuli area...They every year come up with beautiful and large idol...Though they make theme pujas...but all are related to the artisans who work tireless to give life to the idols...This puja has become a must watch in the pandal hoppers list in the last few years...In 2018 their theme was mati...
It incredible...I loved the uniqueness of the designs.....
Famous for durga puja, every year we visit the place and enjoy the decoration and art.
One of Kolkatas best Durga Puja. Its done by the Kumarpara Association, those who make idols. Every year they come up with new and heart warming theme. Its just beside Ahiritola ghat. Its a must visit during Durga puja. Also you can visit the Kumarpara to witness how its made
Excellent pandal like every year... Ant be missed
Attraction every year. A must visit during day time. Night view is much better but too much time and energy consuming.
Durga puja committee was lovely....one of the best statues and thinking of durga puja 2017
Very beautiful Puja but entrance is very narrow and clumsy.
No matter what theme they bringing that will be absolutely unique.And this year 2018 the idol was best ever.
Lovely concept ❤️
It is one of the best durga puja organisers in North Calcutta. Easily reachable from Sovabazar Metro.
This place is loved for its aesthetic beauty❤
Best puja pandal in kumartuli area in North Kolkata
This place in Kolkata in one of the most authentic places to visit during Durga puja. This place is a traditional potters quarter and this is where they make the idols. So it has a very lively feeling to it.

One the best durga puja of kolkata...You must watch the puja mondap ....They had always done unique theme....Best theme and amazing idols...In one word just fabulous...
