Pathuriaghata in North Kolkata was the abode of rich merchants that collaborated with the British East India Company in their rise to power. This walk explores this erstwhile opulent neighbourhood built by this wealthy class, who became famous as the Babus of Old Calcutta in the 1800s. Immerse yourself in the nostalgia about the time colonial Calcutta was known as the City of Palaces through stories of some of the old merchant families and their contributions to the socio-cultural scene of the city.
Walk Leader: Samriddha Dutta
