Maharashtra Main Poona Signs Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the enchanting charm of Pune, India, formerly known as Poona, during the 1910s in this evocative photograph. The Main Street of Pune, now the eighth largest metropolis in India and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra, is bathed in the festive spirit of the holiday season. The British colonial influence is palpable, with red tile roofs, whitewashed walls, and wrought-iron balconies reminiscent of an English countryside village. The street is bustling with activity, as shoppers scurry about, purchasing Christmas cards and gifts from the various shops that line the street. The signs above the shops display a mix of English and Indian script, reflecting the unique cultural fusion that defines Pune. The air is filled with the aroma of spices and the sound of lively conversation. The New Year is also being eagerly anticipated, as evidenced by the decorations adorning the buildings and the festive mood of the people. The scene is a testament to the rich history and diverse heritage of Pune, which was once referred to as Punya-Nagari, or the city of merit. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was a little smaller and the holiday season brought people together in celebration. It is a reminder of the enduring charm of Pune and the magic of the holiday season, no matter where in the world we may be.
