Abstract:

Abstract: History constitutes various realms of creation, practice, strategy, and beauty. Sometimes, while studying history, we tend to overemphasize on conflict, political, social or religious, and aspects of everyday existence, social mores, rituals, interactions and creativity take a back seat. But it is this facet that tells us most about a people who live a particular space and time. The paper talks about a special kind of handicraft: the famous terracotta doll of Howrah district of Bengal, from the Domjur area that represents the lives, thoughts and society of the people during the time this art originated there and why, it still represents a landmark of the place.

Keywords:Realms of creation, Handicraft, Terracotta doll
