Colour and chaos around Kalighat

The bustling city of Kolkata has many layers within itself which has its own flavor,colour and culture.Kalighat is one such locality which though had visited many a times earlier, never much explored. I got the opportunity to go on a slow paced evening trail around the Kalighat Kali Temple during the recent brief stay in the city. Here are few impressions clicked from my mobile Moto G.

This small shop was right below the Mamu's Homestay where we were staying and you get awesome tea served in  Kulhars

Packaging industry is doing well thanks to these products !

The Shrrehari Mithai shop where you can savour mithais and namkeens

Beggars do have a choice of serious discussion :-)

Shops selling Sindoor are aplenty around the temple


Games people play for a relaxed evening and a bit of gambling





Winter is a time when one can savor the sweets made from Jaggery 


Shanti enjoying the Luchi Sabji

Gughni with yummy Aloo Dum

Gughni which is made out of Yellow Peas , a meal in itself.



And what Kolkata still stands for Kolkata Tram
