Calcutta

Chitpur Road Neighborhoods

Manish Chakraborti

Explore the fading beauty of 19th-century Calcutta's palaces and villas, built by a financially strong Indian elite under British rule. This collection of stunning photographs captures the eclectic blend of traditional Mughal architecture and classical elements that once characterized these magnificent structures. Experience the haunting nostalgia of these culturally rich landmarks, as they slowly crumble and fade into obscurity. A must-read for photography enthusiasts and history buffs.
