People get ready for a ‘Phanush Mela’ at Dhar Villa in north Kolkata on Wednesday. Over the years, the art of phanush-making evolved with artisans perfecting their skills in creating various shapes and frames. Apart from the conventional balloon shape, phanush were made in the shape of pitchers, stars, footballs, ducks, kettles and even Saturn, complete with its rings. In recent times, phanush makers have been joined by artists who help decorate the phanush, and these creations have become a regular feature during many social and cultural events beyond Kali Puja
