- What comes, makes it way back to it's roots. There's a conventional saying in the Hindu mythology that states that we are all made of mud ( mitti ), bringing forth the pliability of us human beings. In our entire lifetime it is our passions that shape us and slowly but gradually we dissolve in its vastness. Passion- We breathe it,we become it, it runs in our blood. But does that imply that whatever we are and whatever we do is insignificant, forgettable or even dying? How do we stay afloat, revived and be remembered for posterity? Fortunately the answer lies in the permanency of Cinema. It allows us to implant and embed ideas that deserve to come to life, and our team had the opportunity to witness, capture and revive a soon to be lost art - the art of hand made idol making. Hidden away in the countryside of Maharashtra is the town of Pen, where the festival of Ganpati is celebrated with great fervour, and at the forefront of its idol-making scene is one Mr. Anand Narayan Deodhar, the head sculptor of Pen's most prominent Kala Mandir (or Workshop of idol makers). Captured in the film is an exploration of his cultural, historical and artistic roots as an idol maker along with the experiences of some other members of his workshop, coalescing into a greater reflection on the artistry of idol makers as a whole. In the month of September when we visited Pen, we saw how intimately the lives of the idols and the idol makers are entwined. The interdependency and how each fuels the other. How in shaping their idols, they also carve their destinies and their livelihoods. The artisans who have been practising this art for generations, sculpt these idols in various designs and sizes way before the festival even starts. The idols are created using mud, clay and other materials like porcelain fetched from the river banks but what makes them so special is the effort determination and the tales of unending days. On the day of the festival, the idol is decorated and worshipped and in the 10 days that follow, people bid a farewell to the Lord by dissolving the idol in a water body. The mud, the colours and the effort, is all disbanded and is out in the water reuniting with what it once was; only to pave its way back again next year in the form of a spiritual identity. Because what comes, always goes back to its roots.
