Pottery in India has deep religious significance. Figurines of Gods and Goddesses are made of clay during festivals like Durga Puja in Bengal and Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra. Also popular are the gram devtas (village deities) regularly created by local craftsmen. Makers of clay doll in India usually follow two separate schools - one is called the Terracotta school, in which the figurines after being prepared, are burnt to make them last longer. The second school does not involve the burning process for the figurines, and is more prevalant in Kumartulli and Krishnanagar in West Bengal.

Such is the charisma of the love-lore of Radha and Krishna...and such is its brilliance, that the name of their love...has become a sanctifying force for all contact between the sexes, sometimes also a cover for human prurience... The expression of Mira's love is very intimate in nature... Making use of erotic imagery...she is able to describe her pining for him, her quest for union with him... the devotion of Mirabai and Radha for Krishna show the oneness of eroticism and renunciation, and finally, the convergence of both into the omnipresent soul of Krishna in the form of single-minded love and devotion...
