Indian Art

An artist in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, is currently creating large colorful masks modeled after the Purulia Chhau dance masks, which are inspired by goddesses, animals, and rakshasas from Hindu mythology. After sculpting the masks from clay, the artist is painting and adorning them with ornaments. These masks are intended for installation in a Jagaddhatri Puja pandal. Workers are presently loading the finished masks into a car on November 20, 2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
