EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s in Calcutta, India. The image captures a serene moment of bathing at a ghat on the sacred Ganges River. Underwood & Underwood, renowned for their stereoscopic photography, beautifully captured this scene that showcases both the religious and geographical significance of this location. The steps leading down to the river are filled with people immersed in their daily rituals, reflecting the deep connection between Hinduism and water. The Ganges River holds immense spiritual importance for Hindus, who believe that bathing in its waters can cleanse sins and bring salvation. Boats dotting the river serve as a reminder of water transport being an integral part of life in Calcutta during that time. This photo offers a glimpse into not only religious practices but also transportation methods prevalent in this bustling city. Calcutta's rich cultural heritage is evident through its architecture and vibrant atmosphere depicted here. Located in West Bengal, Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) has long been regarded as one of India's most significant cultural hubs. Underwood & Underwood's expertise shines through this monochrome masterpiece, capturing every intricate detail with precision. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a window into India's past - a testament to its diverse traditions and timeless beauty.
