Nice. Durga in this form is worshipped in Bengal + Assam. The people in the procession are wearing headgear (topi) that is typical of north & west India. The artist must be a novice
I see another problem, look at Durga's 'bahan', from its face it looks like a miniature horse,the body is white with a long tail - it definitely doesn't resemble a lion which it should have been
Ok. I cudnt mkout in detail as am watching ovr my fon. In earlier days Bengalis were referred as 'nanga seer' : naked head, as all other communities used to wear some sort of pagrees. Only aristocrat Bengalis on spl occssions used to don a 'samla'
