EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and intricate religious procession that once graced the streets of Calcutta (now Kolkata), India during the late 1890s. The image presents a rich tapestry of human emotion and devotion, as a large crowd gathers to witness the passing of a revered deity or holy figure. The procession is led by a group of devotees, some of whom are dressed in brightly colored attire and bear the symbols of their faith. They carry ornate and intricately decorated palanquins, which protectively house the sacred objects or idols. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of incense and the sound of devotional chants, as the crowd eagerly awaits the arrival of the deity. The photograph also showcases the rich architectural heritage of colonial Calcutta, with European-style buildings and ornate temples forming the backdrop to the scene. The diverse population of the city is reflected in the faces of the people in the crowd, with a mix of Indians and Europeans present. This photograph is a testament to the deep-rooted religious beliefs and traditions that have shaped the cultural fabric of India for centuries. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such processions were a common sight on the streets of Calcutta. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the rich cultural heritage of India.
