Kolkata: A City Steeped in History and Mythology

Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, is a city brimming with history and tales from various eras. Its name itself reflects this layered past: "Kalikata" is derived from the goddess Kali, a powerful Hindu deity associated with time, change, and destruction, but also with ultimate empowerment and liberation. Many temples dedicated to Kali still stand in the city, testaments to the profound religious and spiritual significance Kolkata has held for centuries. The Victoria Memorial itself, while built during the British Raj, stands as a significant landmark within this existing tapestry of cultural and religious significance. It stands as a powerful symbol of a bygone era, a reminder of the colonial past interwoven with the city's vibrant present. The painting beautifully encapsulates the blend of old and new, mirroring the city's complex identity.

The artist's talent lies not only in her technical skill but also in her ability to convey emotion and atmosphere.
