Kumbharwada, Bombay (Potters’ Colony)

Photo by Rajul Mehta

'Kumbharwada, Bombay (Potters’ Colony)' captures the spirit of life in a potters’ colony in Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum. These rural potters of Gujarat came to settle in Bombay about a century ago. Despite their everyday hardships, Kumbharwada not only survives, it thrives.

“In Rajul Mehta’s ‘Kumbharwada, Bombay’, viewers are immersed in the sights and sounds of a colony of potters.

No narration frames the experience; by looking and listening, viewers learn to let the people themselves show their way of life.”
