2007 will witness idols like these

The idols made for Durga Puja of 2007 do not bear any dramatic look, unlike last few years when the Mahishasura idols resembled Greg Chappell and Osama Bin Laden. Pal laughs, “We are not doing all that this year”. So have they actually stopped making such idols now? “Yes”, says Pal, “The whole issue was very controversial. We made the idols spending a huge amount of money on them because the customers demanded so. But once the idols were ready, we were under immense pressure from various quarters. So we are not making any such statues any more”.
