A unique painting of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab paying homage to Goddess Durga with his grandson Navnihal Singh.
This shows that how our ancestors respected each other's religion.
On 6th day of #Navaratri, I am posting this fine painting of 1830 AD. @DalrympleWill
In 1833 a ship arrived in #Calcutta from #Boston with 100 tons of “crystal block of yankee coldness”. It was the first ever ice shipment from Tudor Ice Co. Growing import led to building of a Icehouse on Bankshall St. The only picture of this icehouse from Fiebig’s 1851 print. BL
