I had a kick-*** picture of a Ganesha immersion from the 1930s - the Ganesha was dressed as Subhas Chandra Bose! A predominantly Marathi festival with the deity dressed as a national leader hailing from Bengal to throw the British out. If someone finds it, do post it.

That i'd love to see.
Abir the pic you posted about the Hooghly pontoon bridge- i've heard and read about it. But do you know where exacly was that bridge located? i've been very curious to find out but had no luck so far. Thanks in advance.

Old Calcutta

Everything seems to have changed in today's Calcutta (even the name) except for the Trams and Rickshaws

Trams have changed too!

I like the old name. We Bengalis have some kinda fetish for raping old names, so much history is associated those names.

Trams have changed too!

Only last year or so... but I bet the old trams are still being operated in some routes.
