Krishnanagar

The Bangalore-based Deccan Herald has written, "“We have clay dolls, toys and even clay sculptures in different parts of India. But there has been nothing to match the clay doll artisans of Krishnanagar in the Nadia district of West Bengal. The creations of these artists are displayed in most of the handicraft museums of the world. In India, we have a large display of these dolls in the Shankar's Dolls Museum in New Delhi. One look at the clay dolls and we are amazed at the reality with which the artist has displayed the character of the model." Exhibitions of Krishnagar dolls have been held in London, Paris and Boston. Doll makers market their products personally to the local people as well as to the outside visitors. Sales are also made through Krishnanagar Mritsilpa Co-operative Society, Nadia District Service cum Marketing Co-operative Industrial Union Ltd., and West Bengal Handicraft Development Corporation Ltd.
