Image title
Roop Chund Roy Street, Calcutta. Roop chund roy street is near the Burra bazaar... The gamblers on the left ... Courtezan smoking her hubble-bubble, on the right ... The dwarf is well known in the bazaar ... The cloth suspended from lines, indicates the abode of dyers, who are a numerous class. The group in the centre is composed of traders, brokers, and other busy people. The petted and pampered Brahminy Bull is quietly wandering by, and the sacred block centre piece of hewn stone, serving for a seat to the next figure, is the emblem of the vital principle, or Lingam - the simple root of the Hindoo's varied Pantheism-the adored household god he most constantly bows to.
