Step into a bygone era with the Kalighat paintings, an exquisite portrayal of colonial charm and traditional elegance.

Her right hand delicately holds her ghoonghat, adding a touch of classic poise.

Standing behind her is the dashing Babu, embodying the essence of British Raj-inspired fashion. Clad in a polka-dotted kurta shirt and dhoti, complemented by polished shoes and a well-groomed moustache, he exudes a refined sophistication.

Together, they represent a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and colonial influence, captured in vivid detail and elegance.
