About
The charida village of Purulia, West Bengal is famous for the masks of Chou dance. Artists who made these masks are known as SUTRADHARA. Even farmers too look for a second livelihood by making these masks. But making only Chou masks doesn't suffice a considerable lifestyle. So they have to make some other decorative mask which can be used as wall hanging. This photo shows some of these decorative masks staked together , ready to be marketed.
