'Goddess in the City of Joy: Sabeki Idols Versus Its Modern Interpretation'

Author(s) Prof. Buddhapriya Biswas
Country India
Abstract My research paper revolves around the Sabeki Durga Idol and how Durga Puja itself got transformed through art, standing on the modern era. I propose to work and discuss the anthropological field research based on the Sabeki Durga Idol and how the Durga puja itself got transformed. This apparently an unlike comparison of two distinct forms of evolved art of history and the contemporary world; which opened the alleys for me to research in-depth. It is the result of my curious attempt to decipher the hot distinction of historical art along with the intervention of the British and the artworks of contemporary times. Starting from the historical reasons of how Goddess in the colonial Calcutta started to be worshipped. Particularly, the arrival of Durga Puja in several Bonedi Bari across rural Bengal and other parts of Bengal then (now Odisha). I argue that the paper focuses directly on diverse types of rich legacies of Zamindars, from undivided Bengal which weaves the stories of the land and its emerging arts. Likewise, Chalchitra, Patachitra tradition, Kalighat painting: Jamini Roy's art, Daaker Saaj, and also Ek Chala tradition are foremost examples of them. Leaping to the modern times, it is observed that, Kolkata and its different artists from Government Art College and other institutes, coupled with the craftsmen from rural side join hands to produce for the public, world-class pandals. Thus, I infer the rationalization with the very essence of Sabeki Durga Idol and how Durga puja itself got transmuted.
