Kolkata or Calcutta, which has always been cherished for its multi-religious ethos, reflected through the fascinating variety of its places of worship, has been variedly displayed by Mala Mukherjee and Jael Silliman in their book Where Gods Reside: Kolkata’s Sacred Places.

The narrative, that accompanies each place of worship featured, provides readers with insights into the City’s history as well as introduces the customs and traditions of the array of communities who made the city their home. The multi-religious ethos of the city is especially important today when diversity is increasingly being threatened by forces of homogeneity and globalization.

With an aim to preserve the culture, customs and the eroding history of Kolkata, We come forward to talk about the lesser known temples, mosques, churches, gurdwaras, pagodas and synagogues of Kolkata.
