Kumbharwada documentation- This subject gave me an opportunity to explore my favourite medium, photography, and more than that, to learn about the largest slum in Asia, Dharavi, the Kumbharwada. Kumbharwada is known as Mumbai's "most creative neighborhood." To begin with, the project was to gather the most basic information, like, "Where is this place?" and "How do I get there? Who should I meet there? and many other questions. I had an unusual experience upon arriving in Kumbharwada for the first time, but the work there provided me with much-needed motivation, new hope, and a broad perspective to look at through the eyepiece of my camera.

As somebody has written, "Pottery is a measure of a country's civilization." It is one of the oldest methods through which man has tried to express himself, his thoughts, his surroundings, his culture, his institutions, and his soul. Pottery is all about tradition. Some designs date back thousands of years and have been passed down from generation to generation. These crafts have evolved over time and are now one of the most prominent and promising business opportunities. There are approximately 800 houses in "Dharavi," or Kumbharwada. Each house has its own potter and its own designs. What I observed was that some work with the same older methods and techniques of pottery, while some of them have blended their work and approach with the modern world and its technology. They are developing their work to cope with the needs of modernization, but some of them don’t bother about all these factors; they just carry on their working methods of pottery and earn money. There are as many attitudes as there are different designs. If pottery is a work done with the soul and gives each individual its own touch, then let it be a mass produced item or an art piece for a special occasion. The work reflects the image of the potter.

Even though they now have electrically charged wheels with variable speeds, the technique of throwing clay on the wheel will never die. Their hands simply create the forms, unending creations, and limitless designs that give us enormous options for selecting the kind of work with which we decorate our living rooms, gardens, and surroundings. All this and many more things with different experiences can be discussed, as I had a wonderful opportunity to prepare and peep through the window of potters' creations.
