Timeless Sentinel
At Prinsep Ghat on the Hooghly River in Kolkata, an old iron bucket stands as a silent sentinel to countless stories and traditions. Heavy with age and memories, this bucket embodies the spirit of the city. Once used for fetching water from the sacred river, it now symbolizes the community's enduring connection to the Hooghly. Each rusted and dented mark on its surface tells tales of past rituals, shared labor, and the harmonious blend of the river's life-giving waters with daily life. This worn bucket holds the essence of Kolkata's rich heritage and the unyielding bond between its residents and their beloved river.
