Descendants of Prajapati: Kumhar Community of Potters documents the traditional pottery practices of the Kumhar community, who identify as descendants of Prajapati, the Hindu creator god. This essay explores their essential role in producing clay products for religious and cultural purposes, while also highlighting the challenges they face from plastic products and foreign competition. The images depict their collective family work, from raw mud preparation by women to the process of making various pots, idols, and other earthenware. (Grant work by Sahapedia)
