EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Grand Hotel on Chowringhee Road in Calcutta, India, now known as Kolkata. The British colonial influence is evident in the imposing architecture of the hotel, with its ornate facade adorned with intricate details and Corinthian columns. The hotel, a symbol of the British Empire's power and prosperity in India, stands proudly against the backdrop of a bustling street scene. Pedestrians dressed in European attire and traditional Indian garb navigate the crowded streets, while horse-drawn carriages and carts laden with goods make their way through the traffic. The presence of a horse and rider, with a rifle slung over his shoulder, adds to the sense of the era's unique blend of the old and the new. The Grand Hotel, built in the late 19th century, was a popular destination for European travelers and businessmen visiting India. Its prime location on Chowringhee Road, one of the city's main thoroughfares, made it an ideal place to stay for those seeking to explore the vibrant and culturally rich city of Calcutta. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British Raj ruled over India, and the Grand Hotel on Chowringhee Road stood as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the colonial era.
