Walking Tour Number 4 - The Heart of Kolkata

Información

The native or “black” quarters in eighteenth and nineteenth century Calcutta lay somewhat to the north and east of the "white" quarters which were near Dalhousie Square.

Chitpur Road ran through the heart of the native quarters, with its bazaars (so well depicted by Baltazar Solvyns in his late eighteenth century drawing) and mentions of the Bengali gentry.

In its earlier identity, it was the Pilgrim Road connecting Chitpore (farther to the north) with the Kali temple, and then located to the north of the present Bhowanipur.
