Description shot in Calcutta, India. Every year thousands of idols of gods are made in plaster and clay for festial and ceremoniousely disposed in sea or river after the festival is over, enabling thousands of craftsmen to continue making them season after season.

Some of these gods who fail to make it to their ceremonial burial, are left abandoned or burned on the side walks. Some of them are just left to rot and disintegrate.
