Bara Bazaar. Hyderabad, Dn. [Deccan]

now this is what i called a more lovely setting then today
 
Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing them. I feel nostalgia.
 
I had a kick-*** picture of a Ganesha immersion from the 1930s - the Ganesha was dressed as Subhas Chandra Bose! A predominantly Marathi festival with the deity dressed as a national leader hailing from Bengal to throw the British out. If someone finds it, do post it.

Did Subhas has a trunk as well? :o

I gotta find this treasure!

Abir the pic you posted about the Hooghly pontoon bridge- i've heard and read about it. But do you know where exacly was that bridge located? i've been very curious to find out but had no luck so far. Thanks in advance.

Everything seems to have changed in today's Calcutta (even the name) except for the Trams and Rickshaws :hitwall:

Trams have changed too!

I like the old name. :( We Bengalis have some kinda fetish for raping old names, so much history is associated those names. :(
