EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bandstand in Eden Gardens, Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, in its early 20th century glory. Circa 1910, the image transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and tranquility. The Bandstand, a popular landmark of the sprawling Eden Gardens, was a favorite gathering place for the British community residing in Calcutta during the colonial era. The Bandstand, with its intricate ironwork and elegant design, stands proudly amidst lush greenery, offering a picturesque backdrop for leisurely afternoons and evening soirees. The bandstand's stage, now long gone, once echoed with the melodious tunes of brass bands and orchestras, providing entertainment for the city's elite. Eden Gardens, established in 1842, was a symbol of British architectural influence in India. The gardens, spread over 126 acres, were a haven for the residents of Calcutta, offering respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Bandstand, with its central location within the gardens, became a focal point for social gatherings, picnics, and leisurely strolls. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature and music were cherished. The Bandstand in Eden Gardens, Calcutta, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of India's bustling metropolis.
