Capturing the essence of the Koli women at Sassoon Docks in Mumbai, Chatterjee portrays the daily rituals she observed during her morning visits to the dock. One of two panels, this work with its intricate Nakshi Kantha stitch detailing, showcases a community of women at work engaged in vibrant conversation. From setting up shop and selling their fish to exchanging stories of everyday life, ‘There Is No Holiday’ provides insight into the domestic responsibilities of Koli women.
