Picture gallery of pottery making, a Hindu Temple and the Museum in Saidpur village



In Saidpur village i found many local people are engaged in pottery making from last many years. I ask one such man of quite old age about his business. He told me that his father started pottery making and its been  almost a 100 years now since they first started making pottery . He showed me his family museum. In following i am sharing photographs from his collection. There were certain clay items, almost 100 years old. Usually the equipment for operating pottery making is available in each and every community , yet for a successful business, it requires certain outlets and needed to be commercialized. I found many creative items in this man collection, like an aeroplane model, a Windmill, a statue of horse, a water pump, a train, a truck etc apart from the usual pottery stuffs.
All these stuff showing the creativity of his nature.

Though pictures taking were forbidden inside the museum, still i made few of them with permission :) I always wonders why pictures are forbidden insides the museums. These photographs of museums shows the renovation of saidpur village.
