I did a quick solo photo shoot at this place very near to my house, Kakrola near Dwarka. The craftsmen there are making around 300-400 Idols of Ravana and others which are to be burned on Dussherrah.

Coming up next ‘Live Blogging Durga Puja from Dwarka, New Delhi.

  2. Where did you see them Abhi? I mean where else in Delhi are they making them?

    Not all of them look cute, some are kinda scary… :D

  4. where are the good old 10 headed Ravanas!? these look ultra scary!

    @ Sreejith
    I guess they would attach 10 of these heads to one body. I didn’t see many body in the making only these heads…
