Synagogue-Calcutta


A snippet of Magen David Synagogue.  Even though the colors have faded and moss has made it shome, the arches leading up to stairs have retained their filigree work. I breathed in the musty air of antiquity when I visited it last year. 

It is situated at the cross roads of Canning Street and Brabourne Road, Calcutta, India. While I lived exactly at that crossing between mid fifties and mid sixties of twentieth century I had no knowledge of it existence.  Fie!
