From the Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC): There are different dimensions of the RCTC that could serve as a training school for presentable photography. The giant bell on the premises with the facade of a grand premises in the background, with the winter afternoon sun slanting on the architecture. The long white turf benches skirted by sequential dew drops patiently building a globular critical mass, the jockeys in their coloured riding attire cantering in the pre-race paddock. The grandeur of the architecture, studious bettors scrutinising yellow books, the circular green, syces leading horses to the track, the dome clock, the marbled corridors and the relaxed splendour of Edwardian England
