A brainchild of Rintu Das and creation of artist Pallab Bhowmick, it took two months to bring this sculpture to perfection. The major inspiration has been the painting by Bikash Chatterjee on Goddess Durga with a touch of the present society in the art. The plight of the migrant labourers during the lockdown was the primary driving force behind this creation. 

The theme depicts a Mother depicting Goddess Durga along with her children. The clothless toddler on her laps in Lord Ganesha while the other children depict Lord Kartik, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Lakshmi.
