I use specialized binding and pleating techniques that ensure the saree stays secure throughout the nine days of Navratri, even with daily rituals and flower garlands. Whether you need a traditional Nauvari drape or a specific color scheme based on the daily tithi, I ensure the idol remains steady and maintains its divine appearance. For Navratri, the process of bringing the Goddess into the home is deeply personal. In my Lalbaug karkhana, I focus on the structural integrity of the idol using Shadu Mati (natural clay) while balancing the artistic requirement of traditional vastralankar (idol draping). ### The Process Every commission begins months ahead. I sculpt the anatomy to allow for natural, flowing drapery. Whether you need a 2ft home idol or a 4ft statue for a larger setup, the surface finishing is critical; I perform meticulous sanding so the fabric sits correctly without snagging. ### Vastralankar & Styling Draping a Devi idol is a specific art. I do not use pins that damage the clay. Instead, I use binding techniques that respect the sacred nature of the murti. I focus on: * **Authenticity:** Using real silk, Paithani, or velvet fabrics that mimic traditional attire. * **Color Logic:** Coordinating the saree color based on the specific day of Navratri or the family's preferred puja tradition. * **Adornment:** Applying jewelry and floral garlands securely so they remain undisturbed throughout the festival. If you are planning for Navratri, please reach out early. Because I personally handle the sculpting, facial features, and the final draping, I can only take a limited number of commissions to ensure every idol receives the attention it deserves. ## About Prathamesh Ghadge I am Prathamesh Ghadge. When I work on a Devi idol in my Lalbaug karkhana, I am not just crafting clay; I am trying to capture the divine. I pour everything into these creations, and seeing the finished idol draped in traditional silks is what makes my art a real puja.
