Denmark Tavern | Serampore, India | c. 1786
•
The Denmark Tavern is a 200+ year old tavern located in the city of Serampore in the Indian state of West Bengal. The small cities on the banks of the Hooghly have a rich heritage as they were sites of a number of colony outposts set up by the East India Company and other foreign traders
•
The Denmark Tavern and Hotel was originally established not by a Dane, but by an Englishman named James Parr who had previously operated the London Tavern in Calcutta. Within 2 years of opening the small operation was already a success
•
From an advertisement in the Calcutta Gazette from 1786, the Denmark Tavern offered "breakfast, dinner, supper and lodging” with reasonable pricing and "liquors sold by the single dozen, for ready cash”. A billiard table and coffee room with newspapers were also provided
•
It is unknown exactly when the Denmark Tavern shut down, but likely some time in the early 19th century as Serampore transformed into an industrial town and a hub of jute manufacturing
•
In 2015, it went under an immense restoration. Experts from the National Museum of Denmark, officials from the West Bengal government and conservation architect Manish Chakraborti tirelessly worked on the restoration which was commissioned by a private association in Denmark which supports philanthropic projects in the realms of architecture and planning
•
After two years of painstaking restoration work, the Denmark Tavern was reopened in 2018 where ambassadors from several Scandinavian countries, including Denmark, were present on the occasion

Hooghly. West Bengal.
Visited these beauties today. An ancient church built in 1690, a Jute mill symbolic of the era bygone, a famous Danish Architectural Marvel turned Restaurant, built in 1786. Bengal never lets you down.

India is a land of cultural diversity, and yet, our festivals are the common ropes that bind this huge multi-ethnic crowd together.
Ratha(Chariot) of Mahesh would be rolled again this year amid six hundred years of glorious history and myth.

Kolkata Darshan Part 2. Kolkata Metro East-West Metro Tunnel, Hooghly River.
This is a man made marvel to say the least. We went to see the work underway to construct an underwater tunnel, when completed it would be connecting two major railway junctions, Howrah and Sealdah. We went under the ground, around 30 meters and then inside the tunnel for around a 100 metres. It was only an hour and we were exhausted, it this has to be acknowledged and appreciated, that the pain and efforts the workers take to work for 8 hours in such projects. It’s their hard work which makes our life easier. Very well supervised by the officers and it was amazing to be able to see it. Privileged.
