Kolkatar Janala Notebook (Medium)

Kolkata’s Janla relates us with the iconic traditional wooden windows found in older Kolkata homes particularly in North Kolkata, serving as a symbol of the city’s rich architectural heritage. Featuring movable, angled slats, they regulate air and light while allowing residents to discreetly view the outside. They are a nostalgic, though fading, element of old Kolkata.
