Mapusa’s master sculptor Jayant Yeshwant Natekar helps keep two vaddos’ Krishna tradition alive
Jayant Yeshwant Natekar, one of the last remaining 4th-generation sculptors in Mapusa, continues to handcraft both Lord Krishna and Ganesh idols, preserving a fragile 200-year-old cultural tradition. Around 150 families in Mapusa welcome hand-sculpted Krishna idols into their homes for 17 to 21 days, honouring the deity with rituals, prayers, music, and gatherings
