This expressive urban sketch captures the timeless charm of BBD Bag (Binoy Badal Dinesh Bagh)—the historic heart of Kolkata. Rendered with fluid ink lines and soft watercolour washes, the artwork highlights the iconic St. Andrew’s Church spire rising amidst colonial-era buildings, evoking the city’s layered past and bustling present. The loose, architectural strokes and muted earthy tones reflect the rhythm of everyday life in old Calcutta, making this sketch a tribute to both place and memory.
Formerly known as Dalhousie Square, BBD Bag was developed during the British colonial period and served as the administrative and commercial centre of the city. Renamed in honour of freedom fighters Binoy, Badal, and Dinesh, the area stands as a powerful symbol of Kolkata’s political history, colonial architecture, and enduring urban legacy. Today, BBD Bag remains a vibrant district where heritage buildings, banks, offices, and stories from the past coexist—making it a favourite subject for urban sketchers and history lovers alike.
