About this place

Amid nationalistic pride and salacious gossip, enter the turbulent world of early Bengali theatre.

Let tales and memoirs sweep you into the ephemeral world of women in theatre. Walk in Battala amid ghosts of printing presses and hear echoes of folklore and secrets from another world. End the walk in a forgotten shrine that has christened a neighborhood of public women of Calcutta.
