Faced several difficulties

She further said that she faced many difficulties in continuing this business as she was the only bread-earner of the family after him.

"When he died, the environment at my house was very depressing because he was the only bread-earner of my family. I have two kids, so after him, the responsibility was laid on me and then I decided to carry forward his business because I was left the only provider of my family," she added.

Madhvi said she has always taken care of workers at the workplace.

My husband's work was very famous and people knew him very well. I am doing as much as I can. Many workers had left us after he died, they doubted if I would be able to pay them. But I am working with whatever number of workers I have with me: Madhvi Pal pic.twitter.com/br7tguxMly

When I decided to continue my husband's business, the workers did not trust me whether I would be able to manage it or pay them on time. But I always provided them with a bonus along with salary so that they can be happy," said Madhvi.

She sells her idols in nearby villages such as Tipudana and Ramgarh.
