In the clay-scented lanes of Kumortuli stands a humble shrine with a story that stretches from the Sena dynasty to Partition, from Dhaka to Kolkata. This is the journey of Dhakeshwari Maa, the “concealed goddess.” Once the presiding deity of Dhaka, she was secretly flown to Calcutta in 1948, hidden inside a suitcase to escape the violence of Partition. Today, the original idol lives in Kumortuli, while Dhaka’s temple houses a replica. 👉 Save this post for your next Kumortuli visit. #kolkatastories #durgapujo2025 #kumortuli 2025-08-25 10:25:34 In the clay-scen.. 0 -100% 10 -50%

Once the grand Diwan-e-Aam of Jaipur’s City Palace, Sabha Niwas witnessed centuries of royal audiences, ministerial discussions, and visits from dignitaries. This opulent hall has now been restored to its original splendour reviving gilded floral frescoes, hand-carved marble columns, and a 600kg Bohemian crystal chandelier that was restored piece by piece. Sabha Niwas now serves as a gallery of Jaipur’s princely past, displaying heirlooms, paintings and court artefacts. #jaipur #citypalacejaipur 2025-08-19 10:11:05 Once the grand Diwan-.. 0 -100% 7 -65%
On August 26, 1914, the Rodda Arms Heist shook the British Raj. 50 Mauser pistols and 46,000 cartridges vanished in broad daylight. Planned by revolutionaries like Bagha Jatin and Rash Behari Bose, and executed by clerk Shrish Mitra (Habu), this silent strike armed freedom fighters from Bengal to Punjab, including Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad.

Came across this fascinating clip of Calcutta from the early 1950s, just a few years after Independence, most likely filmed by a foreign press crew. I could spot bits of Dalhousie, Old Court House Street, and Government Place Road. Everything feels so familiar yet looks like a completely different world!

Last Sunday, while walking through the Visva-Bharati campus, I came across a group of girls rehearsing. The scene was so beautiful that I couldn’t resist capturing the moment. Of course, with their permission. #visvabharati #shantiniketan 2025-08-10 11:12:18 Last Sunday, while walk.. 0 -100% 6 -70%
Last week in Shantiniketan, I came across some beautiful Kantha pieces embroidered by women from Bolpur and nearby villages.  Kantha is one of the few embroidery traditions that has always been practised only by women. Unlike zardozi, ari or chikankari, which involve both men and women, Kantha was made almost entirely by women mostly rural, often illiterate who used old clothes to create something deeply personal. While I was admiring those pieces, I was thinking how, today, we mostly see Kantha as fashion but it was once so much more for Bengali women. The uses of kantha were very practical, to make quilts, babybwraps, mats, covers etc, but its fascinating how women used the cloth to express themselves, share their emotions, and tell their stories at a time when they couldn’t do it through writing. Kantha, essentially, is really the story of Bengali women, their creativity, emotions, and inner world stitched into cloth. And its so disheartening once you realise that this art form might be lost one day with the use of machines, and with growing opportunities the reluctance to continue with family work. The finesse, motifs, intricacy of the 18th and 19th century kantha has already disappeared. However many of the older pieces still survive in museums around the world. And I came across some of them on the internet. Sharing a few of those here. See how stunning they are!  Kantha pieces are from Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz and the Stella Kramrisch Collections #kantha #Bengal #handembroidery 2025-08-08 11:09:49 Last week in Shantini.. 0 -100% 12 -40%

Did you know that 18th-century #Kolkata was once a major centre of the slave trade?

If you’re visiting Shantiniketan, don’t miss a meal at mitalihomestays renowned for its incredible food. This time, I discovered a new addition to the property—a cozy book café tucked away in a quiet corner. With shelves full of books, it’s the perfect spot for a cup of cha and some peace and quiet. We had our Persian and continental lunch at the café instead of the main restaurant and the food, paired with the ambience, was just magic. Add this to your list of must-visit cafes in Shantiniketan. Whether you’re staying over or just stopping by, Mitali never disappoints. #shantiniketan #shantiniketancafes #wheretoeat #wheretoeatinshantiniketan 2025-08-05 10:20:21 If you’re vis.. 0 -100% 6 -70%

Did you know Kolkata was once home to a thriving Jewish community? From the arrival of Shalom Aaron Cohen in 1797 to the rise of the Baghdadi Jewish community, the city’s Jewish legacy shaped its trade, architecture, and culture in remarkable ways. Magnificent synagogues like Naveh Shalom, Magen David and Beth El still stand as silent witnesses to a rich past. And only in this city, these synagogues have been lovingly maintained by Muslim families for generations. The synagogues are currently closed to visitors due to the ongoing Israel–Palestine conflict. #kolkatahistory #synagoguesofindia #baghdadijews #jewsofindia Thank you funonstreets for showing me around 🥰 2025-07-31 10:28:40 Did you know Kolka.. 0 -100% 14 -30%
