EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken by Samuel Bourne in the late 19th century, captures a serene moment at Kali Ghat, Calcutta (now Kolkata), India. The image portrays a scene of local people bathing in the calm waters of the Ganges River, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of colonial Calcutta in the background. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s, showcases the unique blend of Indian and colonial influences during the British Raj era. The grand colonial architecture, including the imposing buildings and sheds along the waterfront, stand in stark contrast to the simple, thatched huts and wooden boats moored at the ghat. The basin at Kali Ghat is a popular landmark and an essential part of the city's cultural heritage. The bathing area, located on the eastern banks of the Hooghly River, is believed to be sacred, and locals come to bathe and pay their respects to the goddess Kali. The reflection of the buildings and the sky on the still water adds to the beauty of the scene, creating a picturesque and tranquil atmosphere. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of a bygone era and the rich tapestry of India's diverse culture and history. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of India's waterfronts and the unique blend of tradition and modernity that defines the country. It invites us to explore the stories and experiences of the people who lived and thrived in this vibrant and dynamic city during the colonial period.
