Kumbharwada. Potter hood.
This video is a tribute to the craft of pottery. It wishes to celebrate the potters, their lives, their homes, their ethics, their family ties and mostly their art.
According to them, they are among the last few generations of potters in India. They learnt their art from their elders but believe that their children will have a better future without the hardwork that they themselves do.
Making clay pots is a time consuming and tiring process, they say, with smiles on their faces.
