Commission for Sarmaya India, for their virtual tour of Calcutta. Montaged images of the timeless city of Calcutta from the British Raj with textile works, developed to compile a Kolkata cookbook. The layout design is aimed at being concise and eclectic.*All images are the property of Sarmaya India










The photographs are juxtaposed with Indian patterns (mostly textiles) which have been modernized for the British market; a small whimsical element, each of which come from a Company school painting (and some from Gorlizki’s modern miniatures); and the iconic Sarmaya red which is also symbolic of the East India Company itself.
