The beautiful tipu sultan mosque in ekbalpur, Khidirpore built by Tipu's son's daughter. A stark change from mosque built by men. There are a no. of tipu sultan's mosques in Calcutta which are structurally similar mirror images but subtly different. Strange how an exiled king and his descendants have mapped this country - from the far south to the east. The Mysore king born in Devanahalli fort area, near Bangalore has its descendants flowing to this part of the land. Much like the Bengalis of today who are migrating to his land in search of better employability. Migration and necessity never seem to end. @kynbengal @breakfreetrails #tipusultan #tipusultanmosque #mosquesofworld #mosque #masjid #tipusultandescendants #descendants #calcuttaheritage #calcuttahistory #calcuttasyndrome #kynbengal #neighbourhoodwalk #neighbours #neighbourhood #neighbourhoodwalks #travelgram #travelmemory #travelblog #travelblogger #heritageblogger #architecture #indianarchitecture #breakfreetrails #khidirpore #migration #harmony #coexistence #peace #religious #religiousharmony (at Khidirepore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pyrGVASBm/?igshid=d1ndxq2ef4g4

The renovated refurbished Metcalfe Hall celebrating the Tale of Calcutta is now open for the city. While you visit the museum and the tales spend some more time at the ground floor reading more about its renovation. For the uninitiated, this metcalfe hall is Greek revival style neoclassical architecture which depicts the ancient Greek temples. There should be more visual detailing about what metcalfe hall was and what role it played in the city..and then going on to its need of renovations, how it will showcase the city dynamics and above hall about the iconic library that once stood here and the architect of this grand structure. #calcuttahistory #calcuttaheritage #calcuttaarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/nath_pratiti/p/BxFV5YDnSFq/?igshid=b1pu58wb8sct

Khidirpore - a dock area, a river area has been a seafarers region and because of this it faces the burnt of World War 2 attacks. This seafarers church built by the British navy bears testimonial to that. It's housed inside a school & college and is one of the earliest British churches of India. It was an army orphanage school which served as medical center during world war 2. Seamen's tales are etched all over this quaint church which some beautiful epitaph writings. This is how imagined churches back in time - old, comforting and desolate. Thank you for this @shfaan03 @sabirsaqif and all others of @kynbengal and @breakfreetrails #khidirpore #britishchurch #seamenchurch #seafarerschurch #churchesofindia #church #churchesofcalcutta #neighbours #neighbourhoodwalks #knowingyourneighbours #neighbourhood #britishnavy #britisharmy #armyschool #armyorphanage #orphanageschool #heritage #heritageandhistory #architecture #calcuttasyndrome #calcuttaheritage #calcuttahistory #travelgram #travelmemory #travelblog #travelblogger #heritageblogger (at Khidirepore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sZMqoABM0/?igshid=1us7lz041obzm
