EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historic significance of the Ochterlony Monument, also known as Shaheed Minar, standing proudly on the expansive Maidan in Kolkata, India, during the late 19th century. The monument, built in 1828, is a tribute to Sir David Ochterlony, a British military officer who played a pivotal role in defending Calcutta against Afghan and Maratha forces in the early 19th century. The monument's intricate architectural design, a blend of Gothic and Indian styles, is a testament to the rich cultural fusion that characterized Kolkata during the British colonial era. The monument's grandeur is further accentuated by the lush greenery of the Maidan, providing a serene contrast to the bustling urban landscape of the city in the background. The photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of historic significance and cultural diversity. The Ochterlony Monument remains an enduring landmark of Kolkata, a symbol of the city's proud history and resilient spirit.
