Festivals In India - Durga Puja - Mahalaya, Ritual Of Eye-giving

Artisans work on the finishing touches, painting clay idols of Hindu goddess Durga at a workshop in the potters' colony on the day of Mahalaya, ahead of the Durga Puja festival, in Tehatta, Nadia district, West Bengal, India, on September 21, 2025. On Mahalaya, the ritual of Chokkhu Daan (eye-giving) involves idol makers painting the eyes of the goddess Durga, a sacred act believed to bring the idol to life and mark the spiritual awakening of the divine form.
