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. The masks are made of clay and are being painted and adorned with ornaments before being installed in a Jagaddhatri Puja pandal. Workers are currently transporting the finished masks by car on November 20, 2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
