Eden Gardens, a verdant oasis in the heart of Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, circa 1890s. This enchanting photograph captures the timeless beauty of the gardens during a bygone era. The serene water body, surrounded by lush greenery, is a tranquil retreat from the bustling city life. The elegant Victorian-era bridge, with its intricate ironwork, adds an air of sophistication and grace. Eden Gardens, established in the early 1840s, was originally designed as a botanical garden. Over the years, it has evolved into a cherished landmark and a symbol of Kolkata's rich cultural heritage. The gardens have played host to numerous historical events, including political rallies and public meetings. However, the most significant chapter in Eden Gardens' illustrious history began in the late 19th century when it was transformed into a cricket ground. The first recorded cricket match was played here in 1864, and since then, it has been the venue for many memorable cricket matches. Eden Gardens has been the home ground of the Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of India's most successful football clubs, and the Cricket Association of Bengal. The gardens have witnessed many milestones in Indian cricket, including India's first Test victory against England in 1932, and the historic 1987 World Cup final between Australia and England. Eden Gardens continues to be a beloved destination for cricket enthusiasts, and its hallowed grounds have seen generations of cricketers hone their skills and create history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm and historical significance of Eden Gardens, a place where nature, history, and sport intertwine to create a unique and captivating experience.
