The image showcases a thrilling polo match being played by members of the prestigious Calcutta Polo Club. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as players on horseback fiercely compete for victory. Their colorful attire adds a touch of elegance to this dynamic sport, highlighting its aristocratic origins. The horses gallop across the field with grace and power, their hooves kicking up dust in their wake. Munnipoor, known for its rich cultural heritage and love for sports, serves as an ideal backdrop for this enthralling event.
