While driving towards Katwa in Purba Bardhaman district in West Bengal, there's a small place named Agradwip (which also has a railway station).
About 2 kms from the railway station there's a small village named Putulgram or Notungram. The entire village is engaged in hand carving of dolls of various sizes shaped as owls🦉 chiseled from wooden blocks.
It's said that the village is engaged in the trade for over 200 years.
The exquisite carvings in various colours are a sight to behold. It's a must visit location.
The driving time from the intersection of NH16 and NH19 in the outskirts of Kolkata would be a maximum of 2.5 hrs.
