Exploring Architectural Façade characteristics of Bag Bazar Street, Kolkata
Bag Bazar underwent continuous expansion with a new age of Bengalis from the mid-eighteenth century, dating to the ancient trading society of the Seths and Basaks. They were primarily banians and dewans (legal and taxation authorities for the enterprise). Including these groupings, landowners from Gobindapur’s hamlet moved to this region. This article looks at the architectural analysis of Bag Bazar Street to give you a better idea of how British architecture influenced the Indian nobility. Efforts and pragmatic practices aimed at improving community engagement through familiar places and activities to expand the accessibility of offerings related to urban expansion contribute to cultural integration in the urban setting. Bag Bazar Street is among Kolkata’s three principal roadways and is recognized within ekantoporibar (joint family) called the grandmother route, providing it a perfect case research setting. The street’s growth occurred mainly due to World trade in the seventeenth century, British colonial commercial and military requirements in the eighteenth century, the Indian nationalist movement, and the changing road-building technology. Analyzing and comprehending the historical context allow us to fully understand the inextricable relationships among form structure with material that gives historic structures their distinct personality and create architectural individuality. Architectural photography allows for a closer look at the various aspects of architectural heritage, making it simpler to identify heritage qualities. The Bag Bazar Street is an amalgamation of neo-classical architecture and modern architecture. The history of the locality’s affluent citizens aided in continuing another socioeconomic and cultural restructuring.
