EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the magnificent St Pauls Cathedral in all its Neo-Gothic glory. Built between 1839 and 1847, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to Kolkata's rich history and religious heritage. However, tragedy struck in 1934 when an earthquake caused the collapse of its tower. Undeterred by this setback, the resilient people of Kolkata rallied together to rebuild their beloved cathedral. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Bell Harry Tower of Canterbury Cathedral, they meticulously reconstructed the tower with unwavering determination and skill. Today, St Pauls Cathedral proudly showcases its new tower, seamlessly blending elements of Neo-Gothic architecture with a touch of Canterbury's grandeur. Its pristine white facade gleams under the Indian sun, beckoning visitors from far and wide to witness its splendor. As one steps inside this Anglican place of worship, a sense of tranquility washes over them. The ethereal beauty within is enhanced by intricate stained glass windows that bathe the interior in vibrant hues when sunlight pours through them. The Diocese of Kolkata holds great pride in St Pauls Cathedral as it serves as a symbol not only for Anglican religion but also for unity and resilience amidst adversity. This sacred space continues to be cherished by locals and tourists alike who seek solace or marvel at its architectural brilliance.
