00:00In front of us is Kalipucho, and Kalipucho means Alor Utsav.
00:04As the days go by, this Alor Utsav is not just about Alo, it is also about the shattered image of the soil.
00:12A few years ago, in the time of outdoor lights, the image of Alo was in full swing.
00:19At one time, during Diwali, near the city, in the house of Bangla,
00:24Pradipesh Shikha was sitting on the floor of Alor Utsav.
00:29But again, gradually, Pradipesh Shikha is coming back to life in Alor Utsav.
00:35So, Kumarpara was busy making the image of the soil.
00:40The women of Puratan Malda are now sitting next to Kumarpara to make the image of the soil.
00:47More than 400 women from Puratan Malda are getting married by making the image of the soil.
00:55Among them, in the house of Singha Bhakta, in the area of Bachamari Palpara Lebu Bagan in Ward 19,
01:02some families have stayed in different places with Ramchandrapur in Ward 7.
01:08Some of the women here are boys, and some are newlyweds.
01:13Some have lost their husbands.
01:16But the women of Puratan Malda are going with the image of the soil.
01:23The women of Puratan Malda are busy making the image of the soil in front of all the household chores.
01:31Now, with the upcoming Diwali, Alor Utsav in mind, the work has started again.
01:52How many images have been made?
01:5430,000
01:55Where do these images go?
01:57They go to Kalipur. They will be taken to the shop of Dasamandar.
02:01In Malna district?
02:03Yes
02:04How long does it take to make an image?
02:07It does not take more than 2 minutes.
02:10How many images can you make in a day?
02:121000
02:13The women here have made countless images around the special image for Alor Utsav for the past year and a half.
02:23They have started selling them at the Paikari door of various wholesale markets in Puratan, Malda and English Bazaar.
02:34From there, the women are earning money.
02:37They are very happy to stand next to their husbands and family.
02:41I have been making this image for the past 5 years.
02:46I make the image and cook the rice.
02:49I leave the work to the husband and cook the rice.
02:53At what time do you cook the rice?
02:56In the morning, I cook the rice and then I make the image.
03:02Then I cook the rice in the afternoon and then I make the image again.
03:09Do you make it every year?
03:11Yes, I make it every year.
03:12Do you have to work a lot during the puja?
03:14Yes, I have to work a lot during the puja.
03:16Where do you go during the puja?
03:18We go to different places in Malda.
03:20At one time, during the Deepan Nita Amavasya or Kali Puja, the image of Alor was worshipped as Alo.
03:28But in the light of the Alor, the image of Alor was thrown away.
03:34But again, the image of Alor is worshipped as Manosh.
03:38As a result, the demand for the image of Alor is increasing.
03:41And the demand for the image of Alor is increasing.
03:44This is a good sign for the women of Malda.
03:49Now, the image of Alor will be worshipped as Deepan Nita Amavasya or Kali Puja.
