AP PHOTOS: Ratan Tata's legacy is seen throughout India — from meals to work to luxury
It's hard to imagine many Indian households that aren't somehow touched by the $100 billion conglomerate named for the family of Ratan Tata, who died this week at the age of 86.
Tata has been a mythical name in Indian consumers' imaginations for generations. Every day, all across India, people consume the Tata Group's salt and lentils, commute to work on Tata buses passing Tata cars and trucks after applying Tata beauty products in homes built from Tata steel.
In Kashmir, Firdosa Jan makes tea for her family from a packet labeled Tata Tea Gold. Hundreds of miles away in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland, 25-year-old Teisovinuo Yhome is cooking a dish on an open fire, using Tata salt for seasoning.
Even though it was a business conglomerate, in the popular imagination, Tata was a man to envy and emulate.
At the turn of the 20th century, Ratan Tata’s grandfather, Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, built the first luxury hotel in India, and many saw it as better than any the British...

AP PHOTOS: Artisans in India’s Assam state make colorful mud idols of Hindu gods for Durga Puja
Kanchan Paul is deep in concentration as he paints the right eye on a clay idol of the Hindu goddess Durga. He stands on a plastic stool and leans in toward the 8-foot-tall figure. It is delicate work, requiring him to remain eye-to-eye with the goddess for long periods of time.
He describes the experience as “having a direct connection with the goddess ... It can also be very frightening at times, when you feel her gaze upon you."
Kanchan, 39, is the fourth generation in his family to build clay idols. His 70-year-old father, Ratan Paul, who is working inside, has been making idols since 1975.
Their narrow workshop is located in an urban area on the outskirts of Guwahati, the capital of the northeastern Indian state of Assam, and the idols are being prepared for Durga Puja, a festival celebrating the victory of good over evil.
The idol that Kanchan is painting depicts Goddess Durga with 10 arms. She stands with her left foot on a muscular man and her right on a lion, her mount,...
