kolkata heritage

Travel down the memory lane to Kolkata and it’s nostalgic streets, with these beautifully captured scenes by photographer Shibasish Saha.

According to a popular lore, the potters of Kumortuli were unaware of the image of a lion (Durga’s pet) and sculpted a horse-like creature with a stout mouth, large teeth and a ferocious look. That early rendition of a lion is still replicated for one of the oldest Durga pujas in the region!

Kolkata's trams are iconic, and have been around since ages.
