Don’t miss this photography exhibition for Pujo at this 330-year-old heritage building

Pathuriaghata’s Hara Kutir will showcase 50 large monochrome pictures by 18 photographers

A visit to North Kolkata is a must every Durga Puja, with the oldest lanes of the city housing some of the most aesthetic pandals, crafted carefully by the artistic neighbourhood. Known for appreciating creativity above all else, there are architectural marvels in every alleyway of north Kolkata. During this year’s festival, a 330 plus-year-old heritage building in Jorabagan will be the melting point of creativity energy — hosting a unique photography exhibition. 

Window Photography School is collaborating with Hara Kutir to showcase 50 large black-and-white photographs at the venue captured by 18 of its students and their mentors. Titled, ‘From the Streets to Souls of Heritage: The Essence of Pathuriaghata & Its Neighbourhood’, the exhibition will be centred around North Kolkata’s rich cultural heritage. The images have been divided into six themes: Ganga, people, architecture, transportation, gods and goddesses and streets and lanes; covering every aspect of the residents’ daily lives. If you’re a photography enthusiast, don’t forget to drop by.
