EDITORS COMMENTS
Chowringhee: A Glimpse into Kolkata's 19th Century Neighborhood Chowringhee, also spelled Chourangi, is a historic neighborhood located in Central Kolkata, in the Kolkata district of West Bengal, India. This vintage photograph, captured between the 1870s and 1900s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of this bustling urban area. The image reveals a lively scene of the Chowringhee Road, lined with grand colonial-style buildings and traditional residences. The architecture of the structures, a blend of Indian and European influences, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. The streets were a melting pot of diverse communities, as evidenced by the groups of adults and children of various ethnicities and backgrounds. The transportation system of the era is also evident in the photograph, with horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws making their way through the crowded streets. The presence of these vehicles underscores the urban nature of Chowringhee and the importance of its transportation infrastructure. Despite the hustle and bustle, the photograph also reveals quieter moments, such as the tranquil scene of a man sitting on the steps of his residence, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling town. The image invites us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating neighborhood, which continues to be an integral part of Kolkata's urban fabric today.
